Throughout the year there may be flights into apartments through tilted windows kommen. In summer nights hopper winows can cause invasions of bats in your home. The animals fly but can't find the way out through a hopper window. Hopper windows look different from inside, than from outside and the bats can't figure out the way. Our tip: To prevent this just usw a fly screen in front of the window! Also note that bats like to sit in roller shutters, window and door columns, please be careful not to trap any animal. 

Our tip: Use simple fly screens in front of the window to prevent it! Also note that bats like to sit in shutter boxes, window and door columns, please be extra careful that you do not pinch an animal.  

Bats and Birds mostly come to death if they fall in open vessels such as watering cans, rain barrels, empty flowerpots, buckets which are on the open balcony or in the garden. Fly glue traps also could not just be a trap for insects, but they can be dangerous for bats, too. Tip: Be careful with open vessels outside, please, cover them. Please, abstain from the use of fly glue traps especially in parts of the building where bats (attic, barn, etc.) could stay. 

Our tip: Please pay attention to open vessels in the outdoor area, if necessary cover them. 

With rain barrels, it also helps if you let a piece of wood / cork float on top of the water, so the animals can first find a save place and can recover. Please, control daily, if an animal in the barrel needs your help.  

Please have experts check if bats live in a building that needs to be renovated or demolished. 

Please see urgently our information on bats living in buildings! 

As a result of heat remediation, the bats are increasingly losing much-needed winter quarters.
