Des Moines Wildlife Tip: Bat odor: causes and how to remove smell
Bats are defined as mammals, they are nocturnal animals meaning they might not be seen as often as they're about. This sometimes, can allow Des Moines bats to live, undisturbed in houses and attics for a long period of time, before being gotten rid of. Bats are good contributors to pest control as, they will eat pesky insects, such as mosquitos. Unfortunately, they can also become pests themselves when housing in homes and can even contribute to that lingering odour that you can't seem to shift.

Why do bats smell?
Bats are generally, not known as filthy animals. In fact, they will spend a lot of time grooming their fur in order to stay clean. Unfortunately, build up of urine can clog up their roosting areas which is where the general smell of Des Moines bats comes from.

What else is causing the horrible smell in my home?
Like anyone, they will need to use the toilet at some point. If your attic space has become their home, they will drop their faeces into your attic. This is generally what contributes to the horrible odour, as well as any deceased bats that may be rotting away up there.

How do I get rid of the smell?
Firstly, you need to get rid of the bats. This can be a simple task if you know what your doing. The easiest way to get rid of Des Moines bats is simply to recognise their entry point and seal it. However, it will probably be easier to call in a pest control team to safely remove any living bats from your attic.

Then?
After this part has been completed, it's time to CLEAN. Wear some protective clothing and replace any damaged parts of the attic. After doing this, make sure to hose down with a strong disinfectant.
