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 Chalmers, IN. 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 Chalmers, IN bat control to get these creatures of the night out of your home and back outside where they belong.
I had been having a mouse problem and the technician was so meticulous with his inspection when he came out. He discovered their entry points and laid down traps. Not long after, the mouse noises I'd been hearing stopped. I will definitely tell other people about them. They do great work, they know what they're doing, and they're so personable. They're the best pest company I've seen around.
The staff at Presto-X is amazing, and so is the service they provide. We'll be recommending them to anyone and everyone!
We got the yearly maintenance plan with them. Our home is out in the country where pest and other critters are all around. Presto-X is quick to respond and their treatments have worked.
I do not regret signing up with Presto-X since we moved to our home. Our service technician has been to our home twice already, and he has done a great job for both times!
The technician treated our house a few days ago. As usual, they were easy to work with. I switched fron Buffalo Exterminating to Presto-X because I was convinced by their comprehensive plan and explanation. True enough, they did a great job!
Your rep did an phenomenal job!
Money used to hire Presto-X is money well spent. We first found out about Presto-X from their door-to-door marketing. This is how they maximize sending back their reps in an area to re-treat some homes. Our reps took care of our wasps, carpenter bees, ants, and termites. I can tell they are really customer-oriented because of how much they respect our time and our property. Another thing I like about Presto-X and their service is how they come back out in between services for free; just call them. And if they can't do it after three calls, they can refund certain visits. And just being transparent, you are encouraged to write a review. By doing so, your rep gets a tip, and you get a chance to win a free visit. Best of all, their reps are clearly experts in their field and are obviously passionate and happy with what they do.
Although I've had some issues with scheduling in the past, Presto-X's reps are always polite and professional. They explain everything to me in great detail, and they always keep me reassured with the treatment.
Amazing reps.
