Canada – bats in jeopardy of being destroyed

A bat colony roosting in the eves of a home was in jeopardy of being destroyed in Alberta, Canada. We provided educational information on bats as well as humane exclusion guidelines. The homeowners decided to perform a humane exclusion this fall after all the babies can fly.  

Canada – bat stuck to glue trap

A bat was found stuck on a glue trap in Abbotsford, British Columbia. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
