Bats Bat Info:
There are many myths and misconceptions regarding bats. Bats are not blind. They have the same five senses we do, smelling, hearing, tasting, seeing and feeling. Some bats, however, have highly developed sonar capabilities, called "echolocation." Bats do not attack people and they won't get tangled in your hair. Bats are actually quite timid and basically ignore humans. Bats are not flying rodents.
Seventy percent of the world's bats eat insects. One bat can devour up to 3,000 insects in a night!

Damage/Nuisance concerns:
Although they do not become aggressive, they can end up on the ground or someplace they do not belong and if handled may bite in self defense and transmit rabies. So never handle a wild bat with your bare hands and make sure your pet's vaccinations are current. Another nuisance concern is when then have a large colony. The accumulation of their droppings has a foul odor and can create a fungal airborne disease Histoplasmosis. This disease can effect humans.

Damage Control:
There is no hard and fast way to get rid of bats. The best way is to exclude them from where they are roosting. Please call us to get an estimate on the cost to set up this method of damage control. We do not kill these animals that are beneficial to the environment.
