HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR OWNERS WILDLIFE IN STRUCTURES The tree-lined streets of Baldwin Park offer shady canopies for residents to enjoy the outdoors and provide homes for amazing animals such as songbirds, squirrels and even bats. Bats provide great pest control. They are protected yearround from harm and cannot be evicted from buildings until after the end of the annual bat maternity season, between April 15 and Aug. 15. Now is the time to evaluate your home for potential wildlife entry points and make necessary repairs. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission provided a comprehensive video addressing how to remove bats from buildings. You can access it by going to bit.ly/3yFFJ8f. Need more information about finding a professional bat excluder? Please contact your local FWC Regional Office at (352) 732-1225.
