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 Jefferson, 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 Jefferson, AL bat control to get these creatures of the night out of your home and back outside where they belong.
Terrific service! Always on time and professional. The staff is helpful and friendly. I highly recommend them.
Our tech was phenomenal. Very meticulous! Discussed the different routes we could go and then was efficient with the service.
They pay great attention to our needs, and got the job done!
The technician obviously know a lot about spider extermination. He was very knowledgeable, but very nice and patient! He did more than what was agreed on. I was so thrilled to hear that he would treat the playground set during bee season so I won't have to worry about my kids when playing outside. I will keep recommending Presto-X to my friends, family, and neighbors!
This is by far the best company I have ever had. I have a very persistent wasp problem, and they had to come out few times to resolve this issue. I have signed up for theor quarterly service so I can control general pests as well. Our house is very old and I have pests that need to be taken care of for good! The phone communication is always available, and the service technicians provide wonderful service.
Thank you, Presto-X, for your rep who came out in a timely manner and was very thorough with the treatment.
The first time the rep from Presto-X did our house, which was just last week, she was nothing but prompt, knowledgeable, and very pleasant. Excellent rep!
Today is the first time for us to use Presto-X, and their rep did an excellent job. She was really impressive, and the price for the service is reasonable.
A few years ago, I used a different pest control company for my carpenter bee problem. The nest was 30 feet high, and they treated the ground, which obviously DID NOT WORK! Most of the damage done was to our savings, $3k to be precise. But when I called Presto-X, they treated it the right way--by spraying the perimeter and then doing a re-treat in case of further activity. We just couldn't be happier with Presto-X.
