🦇 Did you know? Depending on the species, bats either hibernate or migrate during the winter! Cold weather limits the supply of insects for them to eat.

If you find bats in your attic, don’t disturb them! Waking hibernating bats can be harmful to them. Instead, contact a professional to safely check if bats are hibernating in your home.

✅ Stains on ceilings or walls from urine
✅ Strong ammonia-like odors
✅ Smudge marks or oily streaks on walls
✅ High-pitched squeaking noises
