While not common, bird’s nests can cause problems to your property in some cases. 

• Block vents for your dryer, stove, and fans, creating a fire hazard

• Clog gutters and drains, leading to roof and siding damage

• Damage solar panels

• Wiring issues if the nest is on or near a light fixture

Finding a dead bat in your home can be frightening, even during spooky season. The United States Department of Interior states that if you find a dead bat, take these steps:

• Contact your state wildlife agency to report the finding

• Photograph the bat safely to help the wildlife agency determine the species

• Use disposable gloves to place the bat into a plastic bag, making sure to spray with disinfectant and close the bag securely 

• Thoroughly clean your hands and any clothing that came into contact with the bat

If you see one dead bat, you might have a large bat infestation that needs to be treated immediately. Call a local pest control company to properly inspect your home for other bats.

They can have a deterrent effect on birds to some extent. The reflective surfaces of these objects, such as aluminum foil strips, CDs, or reflective tape, create flashes of light and movement that can startle or confuse birds temporarily. However, some birds can become accustomed to these visual disturbances over time and might adapt their behavior accordingly. For a more sustained solution, combining shiny objects with other deterrent methods shared here is often beneficial for creating a more comprehensive and effective strategy for bird control.

Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.
