The scratches and squeaking sound in your wall will make you think that there is a squirrel or a mouse trap in your Chandler wall. However, if you are hearing a high-pitched sound, this may not be a mouse but a bat. Most bats will live in colonies and will not commonly invade our house. They will only choose to invade our property if they find a suitable roosting ground. 

Guide in Getting Rid of the Bats in Your Walls

There are various reasons why an Arizona bat will choose your house as their new residence. Perhaps the exterior part of your house has a lot of holes, gaps and cracks that gives the bats a convenient way to access your house. There may also be a colony in other parts of your house that you have not addressed in the past. It is also possible that a local bat colony has been evicted from their natural habitat and they are looking for a new place to roost. If you have a bat living or trapped in the wall, understand that it will not be easy to get rid of them.

Is This Your First Bat Infestation?

In case this is the very first time that you've encountered a bat in your home, you will need to find way to deter their activities at the soonest time. Unfortunately, getting rid of them can be too complex since they are protected under the law. For those that are hibernating, you may have to wait until the fall season before you perform exclusion. You are also not allowed to evict the bats during the nesting season. You should wait until the baby bats would be mature enough to fly and hunt their own food. 

For the bats that are inside our Arizona walls, you need to find ways on how they are entering the Arizona walls. Once they leave at night to hunt for their foods, you should seal this entry point quickly. In case they've been trapped, you need to get them out or else they might die that will lead to another problem. Listen carefully to the sound and create a hole in the wall where you are hearing the sound to rescue the stuck bat.

What if Your Bat Infestation is an Ongoing Issue?

The bats in our walls can be classified as a secondary symptom of your bat infestation problem. In case you tried to remove the bats from your property, there is a possibility that there are bats left in your house. In attempt to escape your house, they can find themselves in the void of our walls. There is also a probability that you are experiencing a full-blown bat infestation. Every female bat will give birth to one baby bat per breeding season. It will not take too long before the colony of bats will be beyond your control. In case there are piles of droppings in your walls, there is a possibility that there are bats living there. 

Exclusion would be an excellent way to get rid of the Chandler bats since exterminating them is considered illegal. You may need the help of the professionals when installing the exclusion device.
