Local Context

Why Brookings Homes Need Bat Control

Bats are particularly problematic in Brookings because our humid continental climate and 70% humidity provide perfect conditions for bat colonies to thrive in attics and crawl spaces. The rural urban density of Brookings, combined with older homes near the SDSU campus, offers abundant entry points for bats seeking warm roosts during our harsh winters. With an elevation of 1,621 feet, our area's topography also supports insect populations that attract bats, making Brookings a prime location for infestations that require prompt professional attention.

One thing many Brookings homeowners don't realize is that bats often roost in the historic buildings near Main Avenue and the SDSU campus, then travel to residential areas at night to feed. This means homes within a mile of the university are at higher risk for bat invasions, especially during late summer when young bats are learning to fly. Our local team has mapped these patterns to provide faster, more effective bat control for Brookings residents.

Prevention

Brookings Bat Prevention Tips

Seal all gaps larger than a quarter-inch in your Brookings home's siding and roofline before winter sets in, as bats seek warmth from our 5°F average lows. Install bat-proof vent covers on your attic and crawl space openings to prevent entry during Brookings' humid summer months when bats are most active. Keep your yard free of standing water and trim tree branches away from your roof to reduce insect attractants that draw bats to Brookings properties.
