Signs of a Bat Infestation
Bat Droppings
Bat droppings, also known as guano, are a key indicator of a bat infestation. Look for bat droppings in areas where bats roost, such as attics, walls, or ceilings. Bat droppings are often found in piles and can resemble small, elongated pellets.
Entry Holes
Bat entry holes are typically small, about the size of a dime, and can be found near the roofline, soffits, vents, or other openings on the exterior of a building. Bats can squeeze through tiny gaps and cracks to access a building, so it’s important to inspect all potential entry points.
Winter sightings
If you see a bat during the winter months, it could indicate a bat infestation in your home. Some bat species hibernate in buildings during the winter, so a bat sighting when it’s cold outside may suggest that bats have taken up residence in your home.

Importance of Bat Removal
Health risks
Bats can pose several health risks to humans, including the transmission of diseases such as rabies. In addition, bat droppings, also known as guano, can harbor histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that can cause respiratory problems in humans when the spores are inhaled.
Property damage
Bats can cause property damage. Their droppings can accumulate over time and cause damage to insulation, wood, drywall, and other materials in attics, walls, and other spaces where bats may roost. This can lead to costly repairs and potential structural damage to the property.
Restoration services
After successfully removing bats from a property, it is important to address the need for decontamination and restoration services. Bat droppings and urine can contain harmful pathogens and odours that require professional cleaning and sanitization.
Disruptive noises
Bats can be disturbing at night with their loud wing flapping and high-pitched squeaks, especially if they are near residential areas. Despite being important for controlling insects, their nocturnal activities can disrupt human sleep and relaxation.
Bat droppings and messes
Bat droppings create unsanitary conditions, foul odours, and attract pests. They can also carry harmful pathogens posing health risks. Prompt and professional cleanup is essential for your family’s safety.
Unpleasant odours
Bat guano has a strong, musty, and ammonia-like odor that can be overpowering and unpleasant. Proper ventilation and cleaning are necessary to help reduce the smell.
Types of Bats in Ontario
Bats can multiply quickly in attics if left undisturbed, with females giving birth to one pup per year. They are social animals that prefer to roost in large groups, so a small infestation can quickly grow into a larger colony if not dealt with promptly.
- Silver-Haired Bat
- Eastern Red Bat
- Tricolored Bat
- Little Brown Myotis Bat
- Hoary Bat
- Big Brown Bat
- Eastern Small-Footed Myotis
- Northern Long-Eared Myotis

Customer Testimonials
Wonderful company. We had issues with bats in my Mom’s attic. Steve, the technician, was professional, knowledgeable and personable. He arrived right when he said he would and took the time to explain what work was required. He also took video of his work on the roof so we’d have it for our records. I would absolutely recommend them.
Tyler came to our home on time and did an inspection of the bat problem in our attic and rodents in our backyard. He is very polite, helpful and very good in explaining to us the situation and what needs to be done. He explained what Icon Pest Control will do from their end and what needs to be done from our end. He looked at each area of the problem and assessed them in detail. He gave us expert advice and his experience and competence is highly commendable. He does not pressure you to do things that are not necessary but only set out the facts and let the client decide. He is indeed very professional in his work.
Very professional service. They called me back and came the same day. Mehdi was very friendly, helpful, and professional. He did a thorough inspection for bats and also placed deterrents to prevent them from returning. I paid for their annual service.
