Bat proofing

Emailed Kenny late at night, didn't expect a response until the next day. Within minutes he promptly got back to us. We have approx. 25yr old brick home. He was here as soon as the winter was over and had the entire house bat proofed within a few hours. He is friendly, takes the time to answer any questions and does a clean job! Would definitely recommend. We noticed dropping on our porch he returned with in two days of this and checked things out put our mind at ease that the creatures were lingering around our home but not entering anymore. Thank you Kenny.

Bat-proofing

We had a few bats in our attic. The noise of them coming and going kept us up a night and we found a few in our porch attic when we did some renovations. Previously we had another pest removal company in to investigate the noises and they assumed it was mice and put out some mice traps, what a waste of money. Kenny came to our house and immediately knew where the bats were getting in, he really has a great understanding of how homes are built, and where pests like to get in. He explained everything he was going to do, and also helped me to better understand how bats live and behave. He did an amazing job at sealing up the house and putting in temporary one way doors to allow the bats to escape and find somewhere else to live. Since he has been here there is not a sound, and we are finally able to sleep at night again! Don't waste your time/money with anyone else, Kenny is a true expert and professional, and will take care of your bat problem permanently. As another bonus, sealing up the house also has the effect of lowering our winter heating bills! Bats Canada should be your first and only choice if you have bats! Highly recommended!

bat removal

Last year we discovered that the many bats we'd seen flying around were living in our house. We found Bats Canada on the internet and were impressed with the 5-year warranty, so we phoned and left a message. Kenny returned our call promptly. Our 100+ year old Victorian-style home has a steel roof with many angles and openings, but they worked diligently, sealed every one, and didn't leave a mess behind in the yard. As promised, the bats left through the "bat doors" they had installed and could not get back in. Our house even felt cozier over the winter with all the gaps sealed. This spring we checked the attic and it was bat-free. They were living in a bat house that we had installed on the outside of our barn, eating lots of mosquitoes but no longer living in our house. Kenny returned to remove the bat doors, seal the openings and do a final inspection. Bats Canada did an excellent job and we are very pleased.

Bat removal

We have an old house built in 1947 and last summer we had bats coming into the house during the month of August. We had the odd bat show up in previous years, but never experienced weeks of bats flying around in the house. We had a roof leak and figured this might have been the problem. We contacted Kenny and he advised us to give him a call after the roof was fixed. Kenny took the time to explain that the bats were probably there before the roof leak and figured out that the ones we were seeing in the house were most likely baby bats who were confused and could not remember the original route used to enter the house. We learned a lot about bat behaviour from Kenny's website as well as talking to him and we found this information helpful and it helped alleviate some of our concerns and dispell myths. We learned what to listen for and during the winter months when bats hibernated we would occasionally hear the bats waking up and moving around and going back into slumber, so did our cat. Because Kenny explained this might occur, we would not be upset hearing the odd scratching sounds. We had Kenny reserve us a spot for bat removal in early spring and when he came, he spent the entire day filling in cracks and putting up wire coverings over attic vents as well as setting up the one-way evacuations tubes. He was very polite, and kept us informed of everything he was doing. Kenny followed up afterwards to see how things were going.
He called ahead to let us know when he would be back to remove the tubes. It is an expensive service, but we believe that Kenny is a professional that knows his business and is confident in backing up
His work with a 5 year warranty.
We have not had any bat issues since Kenny completed the job. Thanks Kenny for restoring our sleep and giving us piece of mind.

Bat exclusion and bat proofing

We have had bats inside our very old house a number of times a year for a few years now. After being awakened by a bat flying overhead for the first time this year, I decided that I was not willing to wait for another sighting. Instead, I stayed up and spent hours researching why bats may be in the house, where they might come in, and how to best bat-proof our house. I kept coming back to Kenny's website for Bats Canada, and realized that all of the services that his website promises were backed overwhelmingly by the numerous reviews. As a result, I had high expectations, starting with my initial call the same day...and Kenny didn't disappoint me! Kenny answered my call promptly; and with confidence and patience, he answered all of my questions. When I asked about the price, he checked my home on Google Earth while we talked, asked a couple of questions about our roof, and was able to give me an estimate range. He offered to come the next day, and I was thrilled. He called to let me know when he was leaving London; and then while en route, he called to let me know when he would arrive. From the moment that I met Kenny, I felt confident in my decision to hire him, he is obviously a professional. He arrived in a white van with no mention of bats on it, and in no time was ready to start the job. Kenny and Banos are both easy to have around, they are very professional, courteous and quiet, and the neighbours also commented about this. They worked nonstop for about 8 hours, with only a brief lunch break. In that time, Kenny was caulking, filling holes, making sure that flashing beside chimneys was adhering properly, adding mesh inside attic vents... He was able to find a number of places where bats have evidently been getting into the attic. He left one-way vents in those locations, after sealing the areas around them carefully. He also found a place that if it got larger, could let a squirrel in. He took time to make a mesh basket in order to stop this problem. I feel confident that Kenny has thoroughly bat-proofed our home, and we are hoping that within the next night or so, the bats will all have headed outside. We had none visit our living space last night! I was impressed that Kenny was able to stay on the lower side of the price range that he had suggested on the phone. He actually called today to ensure that we are happy, and to ask if we had had any bats come into our living space last night. I am confident that Kenny will stand behind his 5 year warranty, and know that he is just a call away. I know that many people may think that the cost is high, but one needs to consider that they had to drive to Owen Sound from London, and had to deal with a 100+ year old 2-1/2 storey brick house with a very steep roof, and another house that was very close. I also feel that "you get what you pay for." Thanks, Kenny and Banos!

Bat Removal

We've had a few bats enter our house every summer for the past several years now and I kept hoping they'd "just go away". they didn't - we had our first little visitor of this season last week (much earlier this year than other years) so I decided we needed to do something about this once & for all. I googled bat removal online and found Bats Canada Inc.'s website. i called them and spoke to Kenny. He offered to come out right away (due to my schedule we decided on two days after I called). He arrived and was very courteous and knowledgeable from the get go. He answered all my questions and explained in detail how and why bats enter the home. He and his work partner worked diligently for over 3 hrs. straight fixing up all possible entry points, screening chimney & roof vents and caulking all around the house as well as some other areas he saw as a concern - he even went above and beyond and fixed around my dryer vent outside which probably wasn't letting bats in but he said could be letting mice in. He also fixed up the flashing leading from my furnace to the cold air return in the basement which had come loose - this was something else he did as a thoughtful favour. I was completely and thoroughly satisfied and impressed with his work and work ethic. I truly believe that the job has been done right and that he would definitely honour the 5 year warranty if anything were to go amiss. Thank you so much Bats Canada for getting the job done - you have my full confidence and I've already mentioned you to some friends for future just in case they ever get visits in the night from our friendly neighbourhood bats.

Removal of Bats

We called Kenny after we started having bats flying around inside our house in the late winter. Kenny of Bats Canada explained all about bats in our house and how he could get rid of our bats, he made an appointment and came to our house and humanely stopped the bats from living in our house. The bats left the house as soon as they went outside in the spring and they couldn't get back into the house. We haven't had a single bat flying around our living space since Kenny was here. He came back and removed the one way bat doors. His service is excellent and if you have bats- hire Kenny and you will not have bats anymore. Kenny is honest, hardworking, reliable, prompt, quick to respond to a call and quick to solve your bat problem, professional, and thorough. Our house is bat free thanks to Kenny. And he backs up his service with a five year guarantee. I would recommend Kenny wholeheartedly to any friend with bats in their house.

Bat Control

It is so nice to find a company that lives up to its warranty. When Kenny says 5 years, he means it! My warranty had almost expired when a problem arose.Kenny found the source, and there have been no further problems. I highly recommend this company. Thank you, Kenny!

Pest & Animal Control

Bat Proofing / Exclusion
We bought our century home 4 years ago, and have been plagued with a half dozen or more ‘bat encounters’ every summer since. We called a pest control professional, and learnt the hard way that their exorbitant consultation fee provided us with little more than a considerable estimate with no guarantee of bat exclusion! After contacting Bats Canada and speaking with Kenny, we recognized our error in not having contacted him first. Kenny personifies the type of professional and knowledgeable contractor who is increasingly difficult to find. He provided us with the answers to all of our questions (no matter how dumb they may have been), educated us both on the issues that arise with bat infestation and the structural concerns that needed to be addressed in and around our home, and demonstrated a respectful and dedicated work ethic throughout. From the first time we contacted Kenny, to the time he arrived to do the work, he always communicated in a timely and friendly manner and kept us abreast of the timelines as to when the work would be completed. In early May, Kenny spent a very long day and a half repairing, sealing and securing the roof et all from future bat and squirrel entry! He diligently and thoroughly addressed and repaired a number of issues, both big and small, which he found as he meticulously inspected the roof in its entirety… no small feat considering the size and pitch of the roof. We were extremely impressed by the work performed. We are looking forward to our first ‘bat free’ summer.
We highly recommend Bats Canada! Thank you Kenny!

Bat Removal

We live in a big old house and when we moved in we had a terrible problem with bats. I tried three other companies first. All of them said they would get rid of the problem. None of them did. And none of them would come back. As soon as I spoke to Kenny, I knew I should have gone to him first. He was excellent. He came right away. It took him about 10 minutes to determine where the bats were coming in, and what needed to be done (none of the other companies even got that far!). He removed the bats in a humane way and we have not had a problem for years, though if we did I know he would come back and fix it. I recommend Kenny without reservation. He is the best there is.
