Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.

Costs range from $300 to $1,000, depending on the infestation size and removal method.

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.

You can try using home remedies to help keep bats away. Some popular suggestions include substances with strong odors like peppermint oil, eucalyptus, cinnamon, cloves, and/or mint for a natural remedy. While evidence supporting this theory is limited, it may be worth trying in conjunction with other deterrence methods.
