Tips & Tricks for co-existing with Wildlife

Bats

If you have a bat in your home, put gloves on and get a small container with a lid on top, such as an empty 2 litre ice cream container. Place the container over the bat and put the lid on. Take the bat outside and take the lid of the container. The bat should fly away. If he doesn’t, leave the container outside until he leaves. If you do not wish to trap the bat, turn off all the lights in your home, open all the windows and exterior doors to let the bat out. Make sure all interior doors, other than the one to the room the bat is in, are closed.

If the bat is injured, the Toronto Humane Society is a provincially accredited rehabilitation centre, and you can bring any injured bird or animal to our 11 River Street shelter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Queen street car stops at River St, just steps from our door, and we have free parking at the rear of the shelter.
