How to Identify Bat
Learn to identify bats by observing their size, wing shape, flight patterns, ear structure, and unique features like echolocation calls.
📏 Overall Size & Shape
⚠️ Active infestation
🎨 Covering & Coloration
Fur-covered; brown, grey, or black shades.
🦵 Appendages
⚠️ Possible bat entry point
👁️ Head & Sensory Organs
⚠️ Ammonia odor: bat presence
🦷 Mouthparts & Feeding
⚠️ Bat activity observed
🔎 Distinctive Marks or Tools
⚠️ Insect debris: bat presence
Key Distinguishing Features
- Burrows: Do not create burrows; instead, roost in dark, secluded areas such as attics, caves, and under bridges
- Behaviour: Nocturnal; use echolocation to navigate and hunt insects; generally avoid human contact
- Habitat: Prefer high, sheltered locations like attics, barns, and tree hollows
- Diet: Insectivorous—primarily feed on flying insects such as moths, beetles, and mosquitoes
Quick Size Comparison
Roughly the size of a mouse but with longer wings and a sturdier body

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Seal entry points
Problem: Bats trapped inside can't escape
Result: Bats remain in the building or find new entry points

Ultrasonic repellents
Problem: Bats are not significantly affected by ultrasonic sounds
Result: No noticeable reduction in bat activity
Bright lights
Problem: Bats quickly adapt to light and may find darker areas to roost
Result: Temporary solution only
Essential oils (e.g., peppermint or eucalyptus)
Problem: Bats are not significantly repelled by essential oils
Result: Infestation persists despite use
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
