Bat removal

Last year during the winter we found that we had a bat in our basement. As we were told from a pest control company that they hibernate during the winter we waited until the Spring. Three weeks ago we realized that there were two bats now and we decided to call an expert with bats instead of fooling around with someone else. When I contacted Benjamin he could hear in my voice how worried I was. He said he was coming the next day and later he called me back that he was on his way. He was very knowledgeable and gave us all the details of the job. He sealed the house and after two weeks we are bat free. He will come back to remove one way exits he installed. We were so happy with the results we highly recommend going with Ben to remove any amount of bats you have. You will not be disappointed even if the quotation is higher than you thought. When you factor in piece of mind it is a bargain!
Thanks Ben!

Bat Removal

We hired Benjamin in the fall of 2014 when we discovered that we had bats in the attic. Benjamin made the appointment and came during the time we agreed upon. Once we agreed upon the price Benjamin was there the next day and started the work. The job was a large job that required 2 days effort as the company that built my house didn't seal between the brick and the aluminum leaving gaping holes all around the house. Benjamin left 3 (one way) exits in place throughout the winter and said he would come back in the spring to remove them and seal the exit area. He was back last week, finished the job and said he would send me a checklist for roofers to follow as now i am looking to install a new roof. Received an information package in my email within a few days.

I would highly recommend Benjamin, very knowledgable about bat control and removal. It is very refreshing to work a company and people that do what they say they will do.

Thanks Ben!!

bat remediation

I discovered that I had Bats in my walls in Nov of 2014, when I called Benjamin, he informed me that due to temperature conditions, that it would have to wait till the spring. True to his word, when the weather warmed up, he contacted me and made arrangements for him to come out. He showed up on time, got right to work immediately, he was courteous and respectful, even went has far as removing my left behind christmas lights and cleaned my gutter downspout. When he was done, there was no debris laying around like some contractors do, he will be back in the coming weeks to inspect his work, I have absolutely no reservations in recommending him to anyone, I am 100% satisfied with my dealings with him.

Bat Proofing our house

We contacted Benjamin from Bat Control Specialists to come and "Bat Proof" our home . The first thing he did was provide us with an explanation of Bats in general and why Bat Proofing your home is the best and safest way to permanently remove bats from our house (attic). We found Benjamin to be very passionate and thorough in the work he did to bat proof our house which comes with a five year guarantee. Bottom-line, we are very satisfied and would highly recommend him to others who have encountered bats in their house.

Bat Control

After two years of calling Wildlife Control "specialists", and getting ripped off(bats still here!) and given the run-around, I decided to call Benjamin (I had called him before but went with the cheaper option), and he came over and did what he does best. Our hose is now bat free! Best of all he allowed us to pay after 8 months of having a bat free home! Great!

Company Response

Thanks for the review. I have to mention to anyone reading this that we don't normally wait 8 months to invoice. But because they had been ripped off for a few thousand bucks by a couple of
wildlife pest control companies. I wanted them to feel sure that this time the bat problem really had been fixed before they paid us. It bears repeating. Don't hire a non specialist for bat control work. If they do other animal or bugs, they are not specialists no matter what they claim.
On this particular job I had to undo a lot of the "Bat-Proofing" done by the other companies and redo it properly, and fix a few leaks caused by all the crappy workmanship. They appeared to be using meshing methods used to make houses raccoon and squirrel proof which does not work against bats. As I said Bat control is a speciality.

Bat Removal Service

I had moved into a new house and after the first spring and waking up to 5 bats in my bedroom, I realized there was a bat problem. I researched removal and started to call a few people. I got a few quotes and had a few people over to my house. Although Bat Control Specialists was not the cheapest price, they were the only ones I trusted to come through my house. Their knowledge was far superior than anyone else and the job was done professionally. They sealed my entire roof and installed 3 bat doors which they later removed. The price is worth the peace of mind knowing I would never wake up to bats swirling around my head again! I would 100% recommend them over anyone else. If I ever have bats in another property, Bat Control Specialists would be my first call....

Bat Removal and Proofing

We had a few dozen bats enter our triplex while we were living there. Sometimes a few at a time. IT WAS AWFUL! We have small children and we were not willing to risk any contamination with guano and their possibly toxic saliva. We heard about the Bat Control Specialist online and they were more than accommodating. They came in through the evening dusk and ensured that the bats left. Once the bats had all left they bat proofed the entire triplex. We NEVER saw a bat again. It is important to us as landlords to be able to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for our tenants. They allowed us to pay for the job at a rate that was affordable for our families budget. We are so very thankful for the amazing work they did and the peace of mind that they gave us as homeowners and landlords.

Bats

After seeing a bat flying around my kitchen made me realize that I was in need of professional help and I had to address the problem right away. I dreaded night time and I was scared to be in my own house, fearing they would fly in when I was sleeping. I called Bat Control Specialists and Benjamin came out to my residence that evening (9pm). Benjamin installed a bat door (tube that allows all bats to exit house safely, however they can't return back in the house). A couple of days later, Benjamin came back to seal all the cracks and openings around the house. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, honest and very professional. Benjamin guarantees his works and follows up to see how things are. I was impressed and would highly recommend Bat Control Specialists to anyone that has a bat problem!

Bat Removal

After an extensive internet search, I contacted Bat Control Specialists to remove bats from the soffit of our 2600 sq foot fairly new build. Benjamin was very knowledgeable, thorough and punctual. He sealed all potential entry points around the house, leaving two one way exits. Payment was completed upon job completion, which occurred several weeks later, when he was next in the area to remove the exits and seal them. Had we not been home, I imagine we would have received an invoice in the mail. Although very pleased with the work, the cost was fairly high, given our home was a new build and no attic cleaning was necessary, only caulking, wire mesh inserts in bricks and fire place vent coverage. That being said, Benjamin repaired and reinforced a previous shoddy squirrel removal set up by Halton Wildlife at no charge and all work comes with a five year, transferable warranty.

Do not hire a pest control company to address a bat issue. Guarantees, if any, are poor. They do not care about the aesthetics of their work, or your home and do very few bat removals to be considered experts. Trust Bat Control Specialists

Company Response

I appreciated your kind review and candor about price. The biggest complaint I get is always about price. Unlike buying a TV or winter vacation, spending money to solve a bat problem is no ones idea of a fun purchase. However, advertizing, gas, food, insurance, materials and sleeping in hotels seven plus months a year while serving clients all over Ontario and Quebec is costly. Despite our price you still hired us because you wanted a quality job with a good guarantee. Too many of my clients have been ripped off by non specialists and local pest companies offering cheap cures for complex bat problems. Paying Twice to have it done right is my definition of expensive. I'm glad that you mentioned price as it does help me emphasize that quality is never cheap. I'm also glad that despite being unhappy about the cost you still gave us a 10 out of 10. That's possibly the best compliment I had all year. Thank you.

Bat control

For several years we have experienced bats in our home. Two or three times a year we would be visited by one bat only (never more than one !)

My wife and two daughters were horrified at the thought that a bat could appear at any time and they were terrified when one did !
Several months ago three bats appeared in the house at the same time.........
Well that was enough, my wife threatened to leave the house and to stay in a hotel until I had sorted this bat issue out. I browsed the internet looking for bat control companies and initially contacted the larger Pest Control organizations thinking that this would be the more appropriate route, the people I spoke with did not appear to have the knowledge nor the experience specifically related to bat control.
So I decided to broaden my search, my next call was to BCS (Bat Control Services) The phone rang once and was then answered by Benjamin Vaughan, who was at the time working on top of a roof, bat proofing one of his clients homes in London.
Ben spent the next 15 minutes talking with me. I was so impressed with his understanding, knowledge and the vast experience related to bats and their control. I knew half way through the conversation that I was going to employ his services.
Two days later, on his way to a customer in Ottawa, he stopped off at my house in Kingston, by the end of the day ( Ten hours later) my home was completely bat proofed.
Ben and his associate had worked relentlessly in and around my 3000 square foot home, fully inspecting my home and then sealing every possible point where a bat could enter the property. They installed several bat exclusion vents/doors around the house. These doors allow bats to safely exit the premises but also prevent them getting back in.
These vents were left in place for a couple of months to enable any or all the bats inside to get out. Ben than returned to remove them and to seal off the aperture.
At the same time Ben once again inspected our home and he was not happy until he was certain that there was absolutely no evidence of any more bats and that we ( his valuable customer - his words not mine ) were also happy with his services and that we had not seen a bat since his workmanship was completed.
In conclusion, the service provided by Ben and his company was second to none, his professionalism , workmanship, confidence combined with his know how and ability to get the job done was so much appreciated and valued by my family and I.
It also saved me a lot of expense related to hotel fees.......lol !
Thank You Benjamin
