One of the most important elements of running a successful business in Alaska is guaranteed customer satisfaction. If you are a wilderness lodge or fishing lodge owner in Alaska then you have probably found this quite challenging with all the bats around the numerous lakes and rivers in Alaska. Although they are generally harmless creatures, bats can be quite a nuisance in a number of ways. The constant scratching and screeching sounds they make as they move in the space under your roof or attic is enough to keep your guests awake all night long. The ammonia odor from the bat guano can permeate guest rooms. Not very good for business when you are trying to offer comfortable and peaceful sleeping quarters.

One of the reasons why bats are a big problem in the wilderness lodges and fishing lodges of Alaska is because of the abundance of bugs and insects, which they primarily feed on. Bats particularly love mosquitoes and each one can eat over 1000 mosquitoes an hour in heavily infested areas. Mosquitoes are commonly found in the wilderness of Alaska and areas with water such as rivers and lakes.

Bats are a prominent problem in wilderness and fishing lodges because they like to shack up in dark, dry and warm places such as the crawl spaces and attics of such establishments. Bats are also quite loyal to their birthplace and will make the lodge or cabin its home for life once it settles in or is born there. With each new generation of bats, the bat population can increase at an outstanding rate.

Although the bat itself is a harmless animal. Besides dogs, foxes and raccoons, bats are also known to transmit rabies and it is the most well known disease associated with bats. Humans are also the secondary host to bat bugs. These bugs which normally feed on bats may enter the living space searching for human hosts.

Another problem with bats is the guano or bat droppings, which have a very pungent smell that easily penetrates through the ceiling into the living quarters. The guano can cause potential health hazards, such as histoplasmosis, for guests and staff in cabins and lodges. Removing the guano is just as important as removing the bats from the human living space.

Since bats are territorial, it is important to give bats alternative home. The first step in bats removal from living spaces is installing bat houses around the area to provide alternative housing instead of the lodge and cabins. The second step in bat removal is to seal all possible areas of the lodge and cabins, making it impossible for the bats to re-enter by permanently securing the dwelling.
