Maple Ridge Wildlife Removal: Do Bats Hibernate or Migrate?
Bats are highly misunderstood creatures, so you may have heard some seemingly contradictory information about whether they hibernate during the winter or migrate to warmer climates. The fact is that whether a bat migrates or hibernates depends on its species. There are 18 bat species native to Canada, 16 of which live in British Columbia. A handful of these bats migrate during the winter, while most hibernate. In either case, professional bat removal is necessary if you find a bat of any species in your home. If it is migratory, it will eventually go away, but it may return to its former roost when its migration cycle brings it back to Canada.
