Bats can compress their bodies to squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. Being that older homes often lack retrofitting to assure no gaps are accessible on the outside of the structure, this type of animal infestation – and its subsequent restoration – can be very common.
Headquartered in Orlando, FL, Baxter Restoration frequently has the opportunity to troubleshoot this unique type of job due to the bat population of the state. Florida is home to 13 different protected bat species – and when the creatures find their way into homes or buildings, it can be a delicate and time-consuming endeavor to remove them. In fact, Floridians are actually encouraged to provide alternate habitats, such as putting up bat boxes on their residence, to deter bats from seeking shelter in their homes and to combat mosquitoes.
