Appearance - Bats vary in size depending on species, but tend to average about 5 to 20 cm in length (head to tail) with a wingspread of approximately 15 to 40 cm--depending on how old the bat is. Bats’ bodies are covered with hair varying in color from a light beige color to black. Their leathery wings stretch across skinny arms and finger bones.When roosting, bats will hang upside down.
Behavior - Most bats are insectivores, feeding on insects at night. Bats will frequent outside night lighting and pools where insects will be flying in warmer weather. Some bats prefer fruit, but those species of bats are not common in Forest Home, AL. Bats are known to hibernate in the winter.
Bats tend to enter homes for safety and warmth. You are more likely to find bat problems occurring in the colder weather when it is harder for them to find a warm, safe place to live and breed. On the other hand, many accidental bat entrances happen in the summer months when bats are active and flying around. One or two may get trapped in your house while in flight, requiring them to be freed from the home.
Bats are typically drawn to homes with awnings to sleep on, accessible chimneys, or places in which to hide. They also enjoy properties with water and trees which insects may hide. If you live near a water source, have a pool, or have a lot of trees or bushes on your property, then you may find bats taking up residence as well.
While bats are helpful in reducing the insect population by feeding on them, bats are sometimes carriers of fleas and ticks. They can be infected with the rabies virus without showing any symptoms. Once inside, bats will relieve themselves in your home, and bat droppings and urine are a health risk for you and your family. Should you find bats in your house, we can provide Forest Home, AL bat control to get these creatures of the night out of your home and back outside where they belong.
Very happy customer.
This technician is the most meticulous and efficient tech that's ever done service for us. He explained the entire process and answered every question. He is a real asset to the company. Highly recommended.
We moved into a new home that we really adore. Since the house is old, the bugs and the rodents infested the place. Out of the five exterminating companies we sought help from, Presto-X is the most effective and reasonably priced. Also, our technician is so great because of his thoroughness and friendliness!
The Presto-X technician serviced our home and did an amazing job. He was very courteous & accomodating to all my questions.
Superb customer service! He explained the treatment process and what to expect with post-treatment. He even educated us about preventing pests from coming to the house.
The rep who came out did an exceptional job treating both our front and back yards. It was also great that he was a natural dog lover and was not afraid of my dogs when he entered the house. :)
Good rep and an even better service.

Presto-X's reps were polite and professional. They were also quite meticulous with the treatment. Best of all, their prices are reasonable. Looking forward to doing more business with them.
