Bat Control Services

Bats are important for ecosystems but when they roost in homes, offices, warehouses, or other buildings, they can become a nuisance and health hazard. In Kenya, bat colonies in buildings cause noise disturbances, property damage, and potential disease transmission through droppings (guano). Rafiki Pest Control offers humane, effective bat control services to safely remove bats, prevent re-entry, and protect your property and health.

Why Bat Control Is Important

  • Bat droppings accumulate and cause strong odors, damage property, and contaminate air.
  • Guano buildup can lead to fungal infections such as histoplasmosis in humans.
  • Bats can damage insulation, wiring, and building materials.
  • Noise from bat colonies disrupts peace, especially at night.
  • Controlling bats protects health, property, and comfort.

Causes of Bat Infestations

  • Openings in roofs, eaves, vents, and chimneys allowing bat entry.
  • Nearby natural habitats encouraging bats to seek shelter indoors.
  • Dark, quiet, and undisturbed areas suitable for roosting.
  • Lack of exclusion measures after initial bat presence.
  • Warm spaces attractive to maternity colonies.

Signs of Bat Presence

  • Audible high-pitched noises or squeaking at dusk and dawn.
  • Visible bats entering or leaving the building at night.
  • Accumulation of bat droppings around entry points or under roosts.
  • Stains and damage around vents, eaves, and attic areas.
  • Strong ammonia-like odors from guano buildup.
