The bat removal & exclusion protocol — in Melville and across SK.
Bats roosting in a Saskatchewan attic, soffit, or barn need to be removed in a way that complies with the SK Bat Eviction Permit framework and respects the maternity period. Real Pest Control installs one-way exclusion devices at the active entry points so the bats can leave but cannot return. The devices stay in place for 2–3 days, then the entry points are permanently sealed with stainless mesh, exterior caulk, or appropriate hardware. We schedule eviction work around the two permitted windows (May before maternity, and September after juveniles are flying). Bat work on First Nation reserve lands is federal-land work and may require additional approval — we handle that conversation before scheduling.
What's included
- Roost confirmation and entry-point mapping at dusk
- One-way exclusion devices on all confirmed entry points
- Permit-aware scheduling (May before maternity, September after fledging)
- Permanent sealing with stainless mesh, sheet metal, or exterior caulk
- Written report with photos, device locations, and seal dates
- 60-day warranty on the exclusion seal
Not included — but available
- Guano cleanup and insulation replacement (quoted separately)
- Structural roof or fascia repair beyond seal-point hardware
- Eviction work during the maternity period (mid-June to mid-August)
- Federal-land approval paperwork for reserve properties (we advise, you submit)
Signs Melville homes see first.
Dusk activity around eaves and soffits
Bats emerge in the 30 minutes after sunset. A column of bats leaving from one corner of the house is a confirmed roost entry point.
Black droppings on siding or beneath a soffit
Bat guano is dark, dry, and crumbles between the fingers — unlike mouse droppings, which are firmer and rod-shaped. Piles below a soffit corner are an active sign.
Squeaking or scratching inside the attic at dusk
Bats become audible inside the building envelope right before exit time and right after dawn return — usually a high-pitched chirp, not a scurry.
Stains around an attic vent or roofline gap
Repeated bat traffic leaves a brownish stain around the entry point as oils from the fur build up on siding or trim.
