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 Farenheit 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 Canadien 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.
