Bats are a beneficial but often misunderstood species. The varieties found in the local area, such as the little brown bat, big brown bat, and northern long-eared bat, play a crucial role in pollination and natural pest control by feeding on insects like moths, flies, mosquitoes, and beetles. However, as their natural habitat shrinks, they seek shelter in human structures, which is where they become a serious issue.
Bats can enter through surprisingly small openings and often go unnoticed until a full-blown infestation is underway. A bat infestation can cause structural damage due to the highly corrosive nature of their guano (droppings), which can stain and decay wood, damage brick, and degrade insulation. The odor from the droppings can also become a serious issue.
The primary concern when dealing with bats is the risk of rabies, which is a dangerous disease. While most bats do not carry rabies, the disease can be transmitted through bites, scratches, or exposure to a bat’s mucus membrane. It is important to never touch or swat at bats. Anyone who suspects contact with a bat should seek medical attention.
Furthermore, bat droppings can contain fungi responsible for histoplasmosis, a lung disease caused by inhaling contaminated air. Bat bugs and mites, commonly present during infestations, may also pose minor health risks.
Understanding the bat species in our region is crucial for proper and legal removal.
Glossy fur with dark brown membranes. 3–5 inches long; wingspan of 9–11 inches. Females are slightly larger. Can consume about half its body weight in insects each night.
Glossy fur that may have copper-colored highlights. Up to 13-inch wingspan; 5-inch body length. Has a broad nose, small rounded ears, and fleshy lips.
Medium size (around 3 inches long). Medium to dark brown fur.Most distinguishing feature is its oversized, prominent ears.
Bats typically roost in large groups in attics, chimneys, inside walls, or behind shutters, clustering together for warmth and hibernating during the coldest months.
Bats are more than just a nuisance; they are carriers of dangerous diseases like rabies and histoplasmosis, and their droppings can cause structural damage. DIY methods are often ineffective and can leave your family vulnerable to serious health risks and legal complications.
