A Sheltered Life
Like all animals, bats need a warm place to sleep and raise their young. In the wild, these nesting grounds take the form of trees and caves. Because they are nocturnal, bats need a location that not only keeps them safe from the elements but also provides some exposure to the outdoors. Attics and other human-made structures fill these roles perfectly since the furry fliers often find cracks or structural damage that give them access to warmth. Basically, an attic is little more than a well-insulated cave. Such an abode offers other benefits as well. Wildlife control in Milwaukee identifies most colonies as either little or big brown bats, the largest of which can weigh just over one ounce. These tiny fliers can easily find their way into many places that natural predators can't access. This offers unparalleled security since homeowners act as bouncers that keep away other invaders. The open nature of most attic spaces also provides ample room for even the largest of brown bat colonies.
