Bats don’t need much of a window; plenty of them can infiltrate your roof or siding with just a little more than a dime-sized opening.
While chasing insects, bats often fly erratically. This has led some people to mistakenly believe they are being “attacked” by the bat. Actually, bats are proficient flyers and can easily catch insects while avoiding people.
Although the incidence of rabies in bats is low, a bat with rabies may show no outward sign of infection. Therefore, whenever handling a bat, always protect yourself by wearing leather gloves. Any bat bite or scratch should be considered serious. If someone has been bitten or scratched, attempt to capture the bat without damaging its head, so that it can be analyzed for rabies.
Bats eat thousands and thousands of mosquitoes and other pests that make our summers a lot more enjoyable!
Sometimes bats become a nuisance. The most common bat/human interactions involve a single bat that has found its way into a house or a colony of bats that has taken up residence in an attic, chimney, or other structure.
If you have a bat in your house or believe a colony of bats is living in your attic, walls, garage, or somewhere else in your home, your best bet is to call the professionals at BUZZ AWAY, and we’d be happy to safely remove the bats from your property and also clean up and restore whatever space the bats had occupied.
If it’s just a single bat that’s entered your home, there are several ways to try to remove it. First, open all your doors and windows. Bats have excellent echolocation, and they may quickly realize that a window or door is open and simply fly out. You can also try to trap the bat in Tupperware, a butterfly net, or even a blanket. Flying in close quarters (your house) will get the bat tired pretty quickly, and they’ll land to catch their breath. Remember that bats have very fragile bones in their wings, so treat them gently before setting them free outside.

Cleaning up the Mess!
We do not have an average cost for this service as it can range widely depending on the damage and the size of the area. We do quote a price once we are on-site and before we start the cleanup.
We do not hand remove bats from the home. We use a combination of custom one-way valve devices and sealing on the exterior of the house to allow the bats to leave and lock them out from re-entry, this system is the most effective way to remove all bats from the home and to keep them from coming back.
Bats are able to enter your home or office space through cracks or gaps as small as a dime. During the winter months they hibernate and search out warm areas like attics, insulation and walls. We place bat exclusion devices in your attic to safely evacuate bats and then we inspect and seal off all the areas that bats could be entering.

The time it takes us to remove bats depends on the size of the home and the areas that need attention to warranty the home — taking anywhere from 1-7 hours, depending on the size and condition of the house. For the bats to leave once the service is complete, you should start seeing results in a couple of weeks and be bat-free in 30 days.
We do not charge mileage for our services. We charge based on the size, materials, and condition of the structure.
It all depends on the type of insurance you have and your specific insurance policy. We have seen insurance companies cover nothing, cover some things, and then only cover a full restoration service. We’ve seen the same insurance company cover different things in different states. It all depends on your insurance company and policy. We do typically find that bat removal falls under home maintenance or pest control.
Squirrels are present in almost every part of the world, and with well over 200 recognizable species, it’s no surprise everyone easily recognizes these small rodents.
Clocking in at only 5 inches in length, the African pygmy squirrel is the smallest known species. On the other end of the spectrum, the Indian giant is one of the largest species at a shocking 3 feet in length with a hybrid rainbow-colored coat. Most easily spotted squirrel species are similar in size and many are common tree squirrels.
Squirrels have many things in common with other rodent families, such as their large front four teeth that are constantly growing. Due to the nature of their teeth, constant wear and tear never take its toll. Common tree squirrel species are often seen leaping in graceful arcs across tree branches or forest brushes. However, some species dwell in cave systems or burrows underground and may even hibernate during the winter.
Ground squirrels have a full diet of tree nuts, berries, seeds, roots, and a number of other plants. In addition, they also occasionally snack on insects such as caterpillars. Unfortunately, squirrels have virtually no defense mechanisms save for speed, and this makes them an ideal target for a number of predators. It is not uncommon for ground squirrels to eat in groups and alert each other of impending danger.
From the heart of woodlands to populous city parks, tree squirrels are agile climbers, and they only travel on the ground in search of food. Nuts and flowers are considered delicacies, but they are known to eat bird eggs, bark, or even tree sap.
Though their name is confusing, flying squirrels can travel in what can only be described as floating leaps. They often populate nests or tree holes, and they owe their unique form of travel to their anatomy. Their legs and arms feature extra “skin” that allows them to float through the tree canopies. In fact, each leap can exceed 150 feet! Flying squirrels do eat a similar diet to common tree squirrels, but they are known to feast on baby birds and insects on occasion.
Female squirrels are able to give birth to anywhere from two to eight offspring. When baby squirrels are firstborn, they remain blind for up to three months, which makes them dependent upon their mother. As females can give birth more than once a year, squirrels are a populous breed.
Squirrels are not aggressive, nevertheless, they are capable of causing the destruction they dig up nuts along with other things plus they could leave massive holes in your yard they might destruct blossoms along with other vegetation plus they could trample and eat out of your backyard and case you have bird feeders they might attempt to scale them they also like to chew on things such as birdhouses squirrels which get into homes will nest might chew on wooden beams that support the ceilings and walls there are harmful to both themselves and also to humans if they chew on electric cords or wires the normal squirrel when adult could be from 12 to 25″ logs squirrels are great climbers they’re generally muscular plus they have sharp claws squirrel color can differ from shades of black to grays reds and Browns if you have squirrels in the attic give us a call We are a 3rd generation family-owned and operated company we also offer handyman and repair service for your everyday needs.

Squirrels often make their way into structures of all sorts, especially in the attics of homes. The team at Buzz Away has the tools and methods needed to humanely remove squirrels from your home or business place. Furthermore, we can stop them from ever returning.
Squirrels often make their way into structures of all sorts, especially in the attics of homes. The team at Buzz Away has the tools and methods needed to rid attic spaces and other areas of squirrels altogether and stop them from returning.
If you have not spotted actual points of entry around your house, you might be unaware of the squirrels living in your attic. That is until you start hearing their sounds. Clients often report that they tend to hear squirrels most during the early morning hours when they head out to find sources of food. They make quick, scratching noises that can be heard in the spaces below. This is particularly easy to hear when the attic is considered finished, complete with beams and flooring.
Perhaps the most effective method of eliminating a squirrel population from an attic is to use traps and take them far away from the customer’s house. The professionals at Buzz Away make use of industry-leading trapping methods designed to get any and all squirrels that have reached the attic space. All possible points of entry are identified and monitored, and the holes are all sealed once we believe every squirrel to have been successfully trapped. One-way doors are another great way to rid an attic of squirrels. These are placed at all points of entry to an attic. Once a squirrel leaves the space, they are prevented from returning by the door’s design. The only downside is that enterprising squirrels can sometimes get around the problem by chewing yet another hole elsewhere.
Currently, there are 365+ different squirrel species around the world. Some different types in North America include fox, southern flyers, eastern gray, ground, northern flyers, American reds squirrels, and more.

Particularly vulnerable to damage from squirrels is the insulation found in attics. They are also known for chewing wiring that is housed in the attic. Worse, though, is the scope of damage squirrels are able to do to the external part of the attic. With every additional litter born, squirrels will continue to branch out and seek space to construct nests of their own. Failure to halt the expansion of the squirrel population will lead to additional holes being opened all around the attic space. The longer an infestation is allowed to continue, the greater the number of entry points will be created.
Grey squirrels tend to eat fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. They will even consume bugs, eggs from birds, and even the bodies of dead animals if there aren’t other types of foods available for them to eat.
Most squirrels typically mate about two times per year. When a female squirrel gets pregnant, she usually takes between 4 and 8 baby squirrels.
Tree squirrels have quite long tails, and these assist them in maintaining their balance as they go up and down various trees. They also use their tails like parachutes so that they can safely land from different heights. Their tales are also used as an umbrella to give them shelter from rain, sun, and even warmth when it’s quite cold. Squirrels even use their tails to get the attention of other squirrels and communicate with them.
Squirrels and in particular tree squirrels are quite fast and can move as fast as 20 miles per hour. However, the typical squirrel moves at approximately 10 miles per hour.
In the wild, an average squirrel can live for between 3 and 5 years. The main animals that hunt and eat them include cats, hawks, snakes, owls, crows, and other predators.
We typically provide lots of water and food in our yards for the squirrels nearby. We especially put additional food during the winter months because food is scarce during this time. Some of the best foods to put out for squirrels include roasted nuts that aren’t salted, pumpkin seeds, almonds, vegetables, fruits, sunflower seeds etc.
There are many people who get very friendly with the squirrels in their neighborhood, and these squirrels even eat out of their hands. However, be sure that you are very careful if you are able to do this. There is a risk of getting bitten because of the position of their eyes, which are at the sides of their head. This doesn’t allow them to easily see where your fingers are, and they can mistakenly bite your finger while trying to eat nuts or other foods from your hands. A bad squirrel bite can reach all the way to your bone.
Squirrels aren’t the best of pets, and in most states, you can’t legally have them. Additionally, squirrels need a lot of care along with particular diets so that they remain healthy. Squirrels can also become quite possessive over the person they bond with and can even attack other persons who try to get near to their person. This is quite dangerous since they have long claws that are around a half inch in length. These claws can easily damage your eyes, other parts of the body and even pets. They also don’t typically get along with other types of pets or kids.

A large number of factors that are closely linked together are believed to have caused the colony collapse disorder of honey bees.
Global warming is causing flowers to bloom much later or earlier than normal. That is a problem when the flowers are intended to be food for the pollinators (which have woken up from hibernation recently) but have already bloomed.
Bee health can also be affected by climate change. It was shown by a Northwestern University study that over 30% of Arizona’s native bees can be wiped out during the first year due to a warmer climate.
The hotter temperatures cause pollinating insects to exceed their physiological limits. The bees are prone to having lower body size and body fat.
Size does matter to these bees, so they are significant changes. The larger the body is, the more likely it will have sufficient stores of energy.
Very toxic pesticides are used for killing plant pests. These pesticides are harming honey bees as well. There are a number of pesticides that can be legally used in the United States that are banned to be used in other countries due to the fact that they are harmful to bees.
This can be brought on by either the abandonment or development of beekeeping farms. It might also be caused by crops being grown that do not allow enough for wildlife.
Growing gardens that have flowers that are friendly to pollinators can even contribute to the loss of habitat.
Nasty insects like the bloodthirsty varroa mite (vampire mite) feed on bees. This has led to droves of them dying off.
So in other words, the majority of reasons why honey bees are dying off are caused by humans. So the right thing to do is take full responsibility for this problem and do everything we can to save the honey bees.
Although the bee colony collapse is a serious problem, there are some simple steps that all of us can take that will help to protect honey bees. They also help to promote a world that is more pollinator-friendly for them.
The following are four small things that we can do to really help the bees:
It is essential to leave some bare ground in your garden or garden. Bees are a solitary type of creature. To raise their young, around 70% of bees dig a nest inside the ground.
In order to do that, female bees will need to search for bare ground and then dig a tunnel. Then they must visit these tunnels numerous times to bring nectar and pollen to feed the young.
When the lawn has mulch on it, the bees will avoid those soils and search elsewhere. You might think this is a problem until you consider how many farmers use mulch these days.
If possible, avoid using mulch so ha bees will be able to raise their young.
Numerous pesticides (in particular, neonicotinoids) are linked to harming the ability of bees to reproduce and killing them.
Instead of using toxic chemicals that harm our health and damage the atmosphere, search for plants that repel pests naturally like basil for tomatoes or garlic for aphids.
Ultimately, avoiding using bad ingredients will help to protect and nurture the biome of the soil. This is another way that plants’ immune systems can be kept strong and also attract bees who will return for more.
An even better thing to do is to grow organic food like vegetables and fruit. It is not necessary to use pesticides that will contaminate the seeds and soil.
Each time you buy local, raw honey, it supports local beekeepers as well as their bees. So why is unheated, raw honey so good?
It is undiluted and unpasteurized which means it is full of antioxidants.
There are also probiotics contained in honey and this can help to improve your gut health. You will receive many necessary enzymes as well.
You can help to save the bees by purchasing local raw honey at the farmer’s market or the grocery store. However, the farmer’s market does have advantages.
It is less likely that you run into adulterated honey at the farmer’s market. This kind of honey contains extra sugars that can be detrimental to your health.
You can help to save the bees without becoming a bee farmer. You just need to make sure the bees have enough sources of food.
Consider buying some bee-friendly They include flowering plants like shrubs, trees, herbs, and wildflowers.
Some great choices include:
Not only do these plants provide bees with food, but they also can help to improve the curb appeal of your home.
Note: Also, make sure to give the plants water. You just need a bucket full of clean wae and well as corks.
Bees have an impact on almost all food that we eat. Therefore, it is important to raise honey dippers. We need to find new ways to save bees and provide local pollinators with support.
Spread the word, search for local honey spots, and stop using toxic chemicals that are harmful to bees.

is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the “City of Oaks” for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city’s population as 474,069 as of July 1, 2019. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County.
Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the “Triangle”) originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau’s Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.
Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh’s primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.
Raleigh is an early example in the United States of a planned city. Following the American Revolutionary War when the U.S. gained independence, this was chosen as the site of the state capital in 1788 and incorporated in 1792 as such. The city was originally laid out in a grid pattern, with the North Carolina State Capitol in Union Square at the center. During the American Civil War, the city was spared from any significant battle. It fell to the Union in the closing days of the war, and struggled with the economic hardships in the postwar period related to the reconstitution of labor markets, over-reliance on agriculture, and the social unrest of the Reconstruction Era. Following the establishment of the Research Triangle Park (RTP) in 1959, several tens of thousands of jobs were created in the fields of science and technology, and it became one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States by the early 21st century.
Union (now Capitol) Square was reserved to place the statehouse in the middle, with the major streets radiating from it. Streets were named after eight state districts, with each of them identified by the principal city’s name, for prominent citizens such as the commissioners. There were four parks included in the plan, which were named after Attorney General Alfred Moore and its first three Governors (Burke, Caswell, and Nash). There was a brick statehouse that was built based on the instructions provided by the commission of legislators. In 1794 it was completed and Raleigh was described as a “city of streets with houses.” The population was 669 by 1800, and during this year a big meeting was held by Methodist Bishop Francis Asbury in the statehouse. At the time, religious gatherings were held there, along with public meetings and balls.
The brick statehouse was completely destroyed during the last fire. There was a three-day celebration held in 1840, with balls, orations, and parades held to celebrate the completion of the brand new State Capitol. The commercial expansion in Raleigh continued to be slow until the 1850s when two railroad lines – the North Carolina Railroad and the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad – connected with the city. The city limits of Raleigh were extended in 1857 by around three blocks on every side from the one-square-mile original boundary.
Although Raleigh did have Union sentiment, a celebration took place after the State convention voted on May 20, 1861, to secede from the union. The State Capitol was the meeting place for the wartime legislatures of the state, and Raleigh became a focal point for the Confederate troops. On April 13, 1865, the army of General William T. Sherman entered Raleigh. This started the Federal army’s occupation of Raleigh. Around the city, there were troops encamped, and the headquarters for General Sherman were established at the Governor’s Palace. Once the war had ended, the difficult Reconstruction period began.
The city’s commercial section developed along Fayetteville Street, south of the State Capitol. Warehouses, factories, and foundries were located close to the tracks on the town’s west and north sides. The remaining spaces within the city limits contained private residences and boarding houses that were inhabited by the old and young, white and black, and wealthy and poor. In the final 25 years of the 19th century, the private and public sector leaders of Raleigh were determined to make improvements to the city that would benefit them. Being close to surface transportation was successful for merchants and brought in hotels, stables, warehouses, and shops. Streetcar lines were established by city aldermen, and churches were enlarged by community leaders. Businessmen had the goal to transform Raleigh into a prosperous city before the start of the 20th century.
Raleigh was established in 1792 as North Carolina’s capital close to the state’s geographical center. A State Convention was held in 1788 to seek a central location for a fixed seat of government. There were one thousand acres of land that was bought by an early settler of the area named Joel Lane. Lane had come to the region in 1741 with his two brothers. Wake County was established 30 years later when jail and a courthouse were built on a hill in front of Lane’s house. His home became a very popular place for travelers throughout the region to stop at which resulted in Lane helping to get a log church erected called the Asbury Meetinghouse and also building a tavern. The small settlement was called Bloomsbury or Wake Courthouse and was Raleigh’s predecessor.
