September Pest Watch

During the month of September, brown bats start leaving their nests and migrating south towards Mexico. They return to look for a warm nesting area to raise their young as early as March. Brown bats can fit through a 3/8 inch gap and will sometimes take up residence in attics. This is undesirable since bats can host bat bugs and rabies, among other diseases. By October, the brown bats’ nesting area should be completely vacated; this is the time to seal entry points to prevent the bats from roosting in the attic next year.

Brown bats aren’t the only pest on the move this month, there are over 18 others to watch for:Brown_Bat
