Bat removal

I would just like to say that Kenny at Bat Removal Canada did a great job on our home in Campbellford. He made sure we were going to be completely satisfied with what he was going to do before he started. Our home had quite a few gaps between the stone exterior and the soffit where the bats had easy entry. Kenny prepared a test area and let the caulking "set up" first as we were worried about it matching our the stone. Within the next 4 days the caulking matched perfectly and Kenny returned to finish a few weeks later all to ensure we were completely satisfied.

BATOPHOBE IN PETERBOROUGH

I had bats in my house last August. We managed to trap them and set them free and found out that they were
getting into the house via a gap in the attic hatch. We sealed that up. Problem solved right? Wrong!!
August rolls around again and I am tucked up in bed all ready to sink my teeth into my latest true crime paperback
when all of a sudden flutter, flutter, flutter...all hell breaks loose. Dogs barking like mad, cats going psycho and me
running from room to room like a mad woman with a sheet over my head despite knowing that it is a myth that bats will
entangle themselves in your hair.
We managed to trap this guy and set it free. It must have sneaked into the house when I was too slow closing the patio
door right? I've learned that that is the hope that we all cling to but sadly it's not usually the case.
After two more indoor sightings and many sleepless nights I had to face the fact that I had a bat problem. I called a
local wildlife removal service and received an estimate. Their price included a 1 year guarantee. I wrestled with that because
I figured that I won't know until next August whether or not the exclusion was a success. By then, my warranty will have expired
and I was advised there could be further costs incurred to reseal where the bats still managed to get in.
I did more research and came across Bats Canada. After reading their positive reviews and learning that they offered an unheard
of five year warranty I gave them a call. All they do is bat removal (more like an exorcism if you ask me).
I spoke to Kenny who not only is the owner, he actually comes out and does the work
himself. I live in Peterborough so I asked if he subcontracted the job out to a local outfit. The response? "If you hire Kenny,
you get Kenny". Kenny and an associate arrived at my house at the appointed date and time and within minutes he was able
to determine how the bats were getting in. His experience shows. Within 3-4 hours the job was done. The house was sealed
and one way exit tubes were installed. I have to admit I was impressed because not only was his price comparable to the
that of the wildlife removal service he went the extra mile and rectified a few down spout issues on my roof which will help
extend the life of the shingles. That was Kenny's prior life as a roofer kicking in.
My only disappointment? He didn't arrive in The Batmobile!!

Bat Removal

I called Kenny, I believe on a Thursday and I was in huge distress because my husband had removed four bats from our home over the previous four days. To compound the fact that we had bats in our home, our daughter is non-verbal so I was petrified about one getting into her room while she slept. My husband and I were not sleeping well to say the least! Kenny actually came to our house on the Sunday following and sealed our entire home, installed one way exits and I am happy to say we have had no visitors since! It is such a terribly unsettling feeling to not feel safe or be able to relax in your home. We are all very grateful to have found Kenny and have the added insurance of his five year warranty. Thanks Kenny!!

Service

After finding a bat flying in our home every other day for over a month we were very desperate to have our problem resolved!
This company fit us into their already busy work schedule on a very short notice. They are extremely punctual, informative, efficient and very mindful of my special needs son.
In a word, Proffesional!!
My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work performed by Bats Canada!!

Stop Bats From Entering Attic

Bats were removed and stopped from re-entering our attic. Kenny and his partner did a great job on this project. Their workmanship and professionalism was a welcome plus to getting this job done. The warranty is good and one of the reasons I chose Bats Canada. Kenny's roofing background more than qualifies him to be successful at this work. He also took the time to explain how his one way doors work and where the bats would likely go when blocked out. The job was clean and successful. Will definitely recommend Bats Canada to anyone.

Bat Removal

We unfortunately had bats enter our basement area and then during the early morning hours made their way to the upper level. I called Bats Canada and I can't say enough about how great Kenny was on the phone assuring me they would be by within a week. This was a Friday and by Wed. noon the two arrived. Kenny explained fully about how bats live and they went to work bat proofing the house. I had mentioned that over the past few years we also had a rodent problem and although it was not part of their normal procedure, Kenny went completely around our home with a foam spray under the bottom siding which should prevent the rodents from entering. These guys are fantastic and for the past two nights we have slept convinced that no more bats will be flying around our heads coming on to dawn. Kenny assured us that he will be back in Oct. to remove the vents and seal up this area. Thanks again, we sure appreciate your immediate attention.

Bat Proofing Home

A few years ago we had a bat in our home in the middle of the night. At the time, we needed a new roof, so we hired a roofing company, and told them about the bat. After they finished the roof, he said there is no way a bat can get in now...guaranteed. The next year, we had another, and again this year. They did a good job on the roof, but I don't think they understand the habits of bats, and what to look for, or how to prevent. While one bat a year doesn't sound like a big deal to some people, it is too me. I called Bats Canada and they provided me with an estimate, which at first I thought was a bit expensive. My husband and I talked it over, and after reading several articles on the internet about the habits of bats, and the potential damage they can cause, we decided to hire him. Kenny and his crew were great. When he arrived ( within a few days! no long wait time) he explained the process, and what he does, he answered all my questions, and went to work. I was sitting outside enjoying the hot summer day and was able to observe the thoroughness of his work. After he was finished he showed us exactly where our trouble spots were, and explained that the exit vents he put in would not allow bats back in once they exited.The 5 year warranty is a great piece of mind, something no other company I looked at offered. If you find yourself in need of a bat expert I would highly recommend Bats Canada. His knowledge and expertise was evident from the first conversation we had. If you think the price is steep, then I would ask "how much is it worth to you to protect your investment."
Thanks Kenny!

Bat Proofing and Removal

Kenny from Bats Canada was amazing. We had 30-40 bats in our attic wall and had watched them exit the house one by one. Needless to say we were on the phone the next morning looking for a solution. Kenny was wonderful to work with and made us feel so at ease. He identified all areas of possible bat entry and possible re- entry and we were bat free within 48 hours. He answered all our questions and inspected each and every area we asked him

Bat removal

Had bats for two years living in our 3 year old structure. I decided to take the least expensive route and work with a soffit and siding installer last year to get rid of the problem. I was very happy with the work done, and the bats were nowhere to be seen after my cheap fix. I was confident they were completely gone. I even bragged to my wife that I had added a fresh new skill set to our household.

However, since there was no proven experienced bat extraction knowledge between myself, my soffit technician, or apparently my seemingly pest-knowledgeable friend base, the bats simply scatted to several more entry and exit locations the very next year in the same structure. My cheap fix attempt only multiplied and complicated the whole issue the following year. What looked like a calculated and inexpensive fix simply migrated into a much worse problem.

If you have bats and are pondering the least expensive approach to ridding your place of these winged rats, don't do what I did. Don't waste one dollar or one minute on an approach without the full experience and knowledge that comes with Bats Canada. I would have ended up paying much more than my single bill from Bats Canada if I had continued trying to fix this issue myself. It is a bit painful to know that I wasted any money on my "cheap approach" and then had to pay what would initially have seemed like a costly solution through Bats Canada. But without a proper and permanent guaranteed fix you may be faced with replacing all of your insulation, be assaulted with a foul smelling mess and discover exciting new health hazards these flying creatures bring to your party. Plus, you still have the bats!

I did like the fact that the bats eat a huge quantity of mosquitos every night, but it isn't worth the risk of severe and costly property damage over time or the odd bit of bat waste that drops into your glass when relaxing and wine tasting on your patio in the evening with good friends. It is fun to watch the expressions on your guests faces as they start counting the flying rodents as they appear from your place like ship based fighter squadrons. The bats seem to take on the flavor of slightly unwelcome second cousins who are from the shallow end of the gene pool but now share your crib. Eyebrows go way up and its a wee bit embarrassing.

Ken from Bats Canada just left and I will weigh in shortly with my ultimate results. But once you call and meet him yourself, you will likely realize as I did that he has integrity, confidence in his work and you just know he will get the job done right. More to come!

Bat Exclusion and Home proofing

We had two bats flying throughout our house one night in February and called Kenny at Bats Canada the next day. Right away I could tell how knowledgeable he was about what we were dealing with and was very up font with us about how he could help in the spring ( as we could not do anything until then)

We reconnected in the Spring when Kenny came out to assess our house and plan a course of action. I worked from home the day Kenny was working on our house and saw for my own eyes the attention and detail Kenny invested into our home and solving this problem. He spent a around 6 hours on the exterior of house, ensuring that it was completely proofed. Kenny was so thorough about what he was doing, what we were dealing with and how we would rectify the problem. Naturally and as I expected, there is a chance that one could get in during the time frame that the evacuation is taking place ( when the one way doors are up) and I have such a fear of these little creatures that this concerned me. Kenny, however, walked through my entire home with me ( three full floors) and took the time to let me know IF one got lost, where it might get in. This gave me a tremendous amount of relief as we could then take precautions such as keeping doors closed into the unfinished laundry room. He went so far as to do a complete check of our 3 year olds room from top too bottom. Kenny honestly explained everything and I had a much better understanding of what to expect with the whole bat proofing process. He called the next day to check in and then came back a few weeks later to remove the one way doors. Thankfully we have not had any visitors, but I am 100% confident that if we do, Kenny will be back to figure out what to do. He takes pride in his work, is a true subject matter expert and has a high attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend his work to anyone.
