How to get rid of bats?
Bats are great to have around your home as they feed a ton of flying pests and insects. Bats inside your home is a different story. As a federally-protected species, killing bats is illegal. Show how do you get rid of bats attempting to nest and live in your home?
The temporary installation of one-way bat arms can allow bats to safely leave the home and not return. After all bats are gone, structural repairs are necessary to prevent them from returning. Focus on all areas of the home with cracks in brick and siding that are 3/8 x 1 inch and larger. Bats can get in just the tiniest cracks and gaps in your home.

Lifespan of a fly?
The lifespan of a fly causing a pest issue in or around your home is dependent on the species of fly. Houseflies don’t go away easily or quickly as they can live up to a month. Gnats, like fruit flies, have even longer lifespans living up to 60 days. Getting rid of a fly problem involves more than just killing them with insecticides.
Getting rid of flies also involves sanitation. It is critical to determine the source of the fly infestation to stop future breeding. For house flies this is often garbage or pet waste. For fruit flies, the source of the infestation and breeding is often rotting fruit and vegetables, garbage, and organic matter in kitchen and sink drains.
