Removing Bat Urine and Urine Stains

what does Raccoon poop look like

Lots of men and women who have experienced a bat infestation or noticed a colony of bats will be quite knowledgeable about the number of droppings that these small creatures can create, and it isn't uncommon to observe a colony have a heap of many feet of droppings on the ground beneath where the bats hang. But when it comes to bat pee fewer people know of those stains, and what you can actually do to clean them up. Oftentimes the urine and the droppings will accumulate in precisely the exact same location, and the urine will land on the stool to further darken the colour of the stain, to make it even more unsightly.

While bat droppings are known to contain many different ailments, bat pee isn't especially harmful to people, even though it's more the effect it can have on the substances it comes into contact with this is a concern. Bat urine really has a higher concentration of uric acid, and it follows that the urine itself is actually fairly corrosive. Because of this, anywhere the bat pee comes to a repeated contact , namely surfaces such as fabrics, wood and metal can see some rust of those surfaces. Sometimes, this can be very severe, which will ultimately mean that those substances will need to be replaced.

Where Are All These Stains Found? Bat urine stains will usually be dark muddy looking stains, and the most common place to find them is right under the bat's roost, at domestic properties that this will typically be in the attic of the property. Another frequent area where the stains could build up, especially with bigger bat colonies which have been established for a while, will be on the wall under where the exit points from the bat's roost in a roof space. There are loads of other places where the spots can grow, as any place that has bats present for long enough will see a buildup of the urine itself.

The first step here is actually get to the urine itself, in many instances you'll have to vacuum and scratch all the guano, so as to obtain access to the stained area under, unless these are spots on the walls on the exterior of the property. For soft surfaces like insulating material in a roof area, this will have to be replaced, but tougher surfaces should be sprayed with a disinfectant cleaner and thoroughly scrubbed to remove the stains. In certain situations where the stains are unsightly and aren't easily eliminated with a hard surface cleaner, then you might have to replace these surfaces also, or paint over them with the suitable paint to bring the region back to its former state.

To prevent the bats from continuing to urinate and cause continuing stains, you need to remove the bats, or at least make them move to a new roost outside the building where they're causing problems. There are loads of professionals who can help you to relocate the bats, as it can be tricky to manage the problem yourself unless you have expertise. Bat exclusion will take a comprehensive examination of the area where they're roosting to find all their entry points, then installing netting or funnels to permit the bats to leave, but preventing them from returning to that area.
