 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Butch did an excellent job in short notice. We had an ermine that got into our old farm house and though it was doing an excellent job at getting rid of our mice ermines‘s are not to be lived with. Butch came over very quickly after we explained the situation and instantly implemented a plan to catch and release the ermine. Butch was very communicative and checked in often during the process and after a couple days he was able to trap the ermine and restore order to our home. I would highly recommend Butch for his skill and professionalism.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had bats in our attic and called Midcoast Wildlife.  Butch came quickly to inspect the situation.  He explained everything clearly and started the job a few days later.  First he sealed up possible entry places, and put up one-way eviction doors.  Then he came back a couple of weeks later to clean up the guano.  It was all very successful!  It's been a couple more weeks now and the bats are gone.  Thank you, Butch.  I highly recommend Midcoast Wildlife.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found we had bats in our attic and Butch came over quickly and addressed the problem areas. He put in one way bat doors to get them out. He also came back in the fall to seal the openings. I highly recommend Butch to anyone that has a bat problem!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired MWS after finding a bat in our home (which we were, thankfully, able to release safely). Upon inspection, there was evidence that we had a colony in our attic that we weren't aware of. Butch was abundantly professional and very, very knowledgeable on the problem and bats in the area. It was important to us that the bats be removed and their pathways into the home be sealed, but we didn't want to harm the animals in the process. Butch was able to accomplish all of this, and as a bonus he was great to work with! We'd highly recommend working with MWS!

P.S. Ask for one of their company shirts (just trust me). Best marketing I've seen!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had to hire Midcoast Wildlife Specialists for what I thought was flying squirrels but turned out to be bats too. They responded that same day and quoted me for all work that was needed (would have had to hire out if I used anyone else for roof work) and completed everything promptly and completely and showed me photos of attic and work to be done so I knew all that was happening - all provided with very friendly service. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to evict unwanted critters safely, cost effectively and humanely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Midcoast Wildlife was fantastic. Butch and his team took care of our bats quickly and efficiently. Plus, Butch humored all of the bat related questions that my three year old and I could throw at him! While bats are fascinating, I'm glad that Midcoast Wildlife was able to find the entrance points and seal them up. Thanks so much.

"A colony of bats had entered out large garage. Once the entry point was found a closed up a device was setup to allow all the bats out but they could not return. The clean up was perfect and the attic of the garage was like new. Highly recommend this company. PLUS they got our insurance to cover almost all the costs."

The Two Most Common Bats Found In Maine Homes And Buildings And White Nose Syndrome

Bats With White Nosed Syndrome

White-nose syndrome is a disease affecting hibernating bats. Named for the white fungus that appears on the muzzle and other parts of hibernating bats, WNS is associated with extensive mortality of bats in Maine and the US. First documented in New York in the winter of 2006-2007, WNS has spread rapidly across the eastern United States and Canada, and the fungus that causes WNS has been detected as far south as Mississippi and as far west as the state of Washington.

Little Brown Bat

In Maine the little brown bat has been listed as endangered. Little brown bats are at a higher threat due to white nose syndrome (WNS) in eastern North America. The little brown bat lives in three different roosting sites: day roosts, night roost and hibernation roosts. Roosts can be found in buildings, trees, under rocks, wood piles, sometimes in caves, natural hollows , under the sheet metal roofs of trappers' caches, attics of buildings. Bats rest in night roosts after feeding in the evening which may serve to keep their feces away from the day roosts and thus less noticeable to predators.

Big Brown Bat

The big brown bat can be found in Maine and it is at risk. The big brown bat is one of the most widespread and abundant bats in North America. As its name suggests, the big brown bat is a relatively large bat species with fairly uniform brown fur. The big brown bat commonly roosts in buildings and has adapted well to the presence of humans. The big brown bat feeds mainly on beetles and is an important predator of insect pests.

How Bats Enter Your Maine Home Or Buildings

Maine Bat Control and dormer-areas siding that bats use to enter homes

Bats love old houses and dormer areas because they offer so many possible entrance areas. Bats need just a small crack-about 3/8 by 1-to enter a home or business building and can compress through openings the dimension of a quarter. That’s not much space, so you need to make sure every opening around your dormers is well sealed. It's best to be proactive and let the pros at Maine Bat Control do an inspection by calling (207) 380-6652.

Maine Bat Control locate vent openings that bats use to enter attics

A vent is an essential component of a home or building's roof. But when it comes to problem animals like bats, vents allow bats a way into your attic. Also, a ridge vent, a cover that runs along the peak of a roof to cover the roof deck opening along the ridge, is an entrance for bats if not properly covered by a product like the Peak Protector. Some people are perplexed why there would be an opening at the top of their roof, but the venting at the ridge is an essential part of roof ventilation.

Maine Bat Control located hidden gaps that bats use to enter a building

Bats get entrance into your building more often than not due to badly installed chimney flashing. Wherever joints occur in a building, e.g., walls meeting the roof or a chimney, flashing may be fitted to keep the building watertight. Flashing consists of strips of metal or other material to cover cracks, crevices, and holes. "Flashband," a Self-adhesive, aluminum-faced bitumen-backed sealing tape, is a quick, efficient, and cost-effective method of flashing used to bat-proof buildings.

Maine Bat Control locates holes created by other wild critters that bats use to enter a building.

When we are bat-proofing a building, our bat experts have to locate the holes in your home that bats use to enter and exit the building. Bats frequently invade holes created by squirrels, birds, or other rodents. To discover if bats are entering and exiting these areas, we do a “bat watch." In the evening and morning, we station a person on each side of the building with holes and watch to see if bats enter or exit the building.
