All Wildlife Removal Service in New Jersey
specializes in Bats...
There are two common types of bats that tend to get into homes and become a nuisance in New Jersey: the Big Brown bat and the Little Brown bat.
Biologists will tell you that you can tell the difference between these two types of bats by counting the occipital rings in their ears (the Big Brown Bat has more rings than the

Both of these kinds of bats live in colonies. The location of their roost is
dependent on weather, environment and biologic conditions.
We can also further separate colonies into matriarchal colonies (momma
bats) or bachelor colonies (daddy bats). In autumn, the mommy bats and
daddy bats get together, hanging out in one large colony to mate. (Perhaps
you've heard of the Birds and the Bees? Well, this is the story of the the Bats
and the Bees.) When the mating season is complete the large colonies will
break up and the bats tend to head to wherever they are going to roost for
the winter.
In decades past, they would fly south to the Carolinas or Virginia and winter
over in caves. (Bats look for a constant temperature of approximately 55
degrees Fahrenheit for winter hibernation.) But back in the 1980s, when
many rivers were damned to provide hydroelectric power, many bats were
killed and the general population dipped. These days we're seeing an
upswing of bats wintering over in the northeast, instead of migrating. This is
similar to how, many years ago, we never saw Canadian geese in New
Jersey during the summer months. Now we have resident geese year-round.
We can’t necessarily substantiate it, but in the pest control industry, we see
more bats in people’s homes in the winter these days then there were 15
years ago.
When the cold months come, bats will hibernate in attics that are warm
enough. It’s not uncommon for someone to call us at All Wildlife Removal
Service and tell us they were getting luggage out of the attic for a winter
vacation... only to discover a bat in their house that very night. Or a family
whose home is under construction may find them in the wall. This is most
common in the plumbing wall which is wider than other walls throughout
the house and therefore the first choice for bats to take up residence.
