The edges of his hair are ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its ears have a rounded shape and are short. They are marked by a thin black line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The silver bat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is recognized by its black or brown fur.

Its wings have a wingspan of 27 cm. The tragus of this critter is thinned and sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Northern Bat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bat is a dark brown color. Its belly is yellowish in colour. The size of its tail and wings which are 26 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The northern bat is 8.9 cm tall and weighs 9 grams. Its tragus is identical to that of the little brown bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pygmy bat.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is remarkable for its smallness. It is the smallest of our bats and the rarest in urban areas. It is 7 to 9 cm long with wings with a wingspan of 25 cm. Its legs are very small: less than 8 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pygmy bat has a golden brown color on its back. The hair on his face and ears is black. Its belly is grey in colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It weighs 5 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The big bat.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large bat is 13 cm long.

Bats mate at gatherings commonly known as swarms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, all bat species gather in large numbers in the caves that serve as <strong>hibernacles.<\/strong> This gathering is at the origin of the diversity of species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bats mate after a courtship of songs or chases. After mating, the female holds the male&#8217;s sperm in her uterus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fertilization only occurs during the spring. It is during this season that hibernation takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because there are a multitude of bat species, the gestation phase differs by species. Temperature and diet also condition this phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the gestation period for eastern pipistrelle is 44 days, double the gestation of grey mice. For other species, it can last up to 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">2nd<sup> phase: the birth of the young<\/sup> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"228\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/chauve-souris-pendue.jpg 228w, https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/chauve-souris-pendue-214x300.jpg 214w\" src=\"https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/chauve-souris-pendue.jpg\" alt=\"hung bat\"\/><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the year, a female gives birth to only one cub. Exceptionally, the red bat can give birth to up to 4 cubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give birth, the females gather in colonies. Most get on their feet with their heads pointed upwards, allowing the newborn to be recovered upon release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some species stand with their heads pointed downwards. At the exit, the little one clings to his mother&#8217;s fur and spends a few days there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At birth, baby bats are pink in colour. They have no hairs, but are covered with downs. Their eyes barely open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hairs of the young become visible 14 days after birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mothers breastfeed for five weeks, then weed the young. They then go out every night, looking for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growth of small children is accelerating. The weight, the size, the wings, everything indicates that they are reaching adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as they are 18 days old, the cubs are able to spread their wings and take flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They then feed on <a href=\"https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/en\/insects\/\">insects<\/a>themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From July to August, all bats, males, females and offspring stock up on fat to cope with the <strong>hibernation<\/strong>period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They migrate to caves, caverns, old buildings to shelter there: this is the critical period of<strong> uncontrolled installations in your shelters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bats have a lifespan of 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column paddingsec is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column borderh22 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"un-probleme-de-rongeur-1\">How are these<strong>swallows<\/strong> harmful to us?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"158\" height=\"156\" src=\"https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/chauve-souris-02.jpg\" alt=\"flying bat\" class=\"wp-image-1740\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bats take refuge in the ledge, under the roofs, under the exterior cladding or in the attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They leave faeces and smells in their path.
