Bats have a bad reputation due to their peculiar appearance, but they're actually very beneficial and independent animals. They like to be left alone and a whole bat colony helps contribute to the ecosystem by eating a whopping 500,000 lbs of insects per night! However, bats are still wild animals and not something you want inside your home. Leave that to us — our technicians are experienced in bat removal and can help you get bats out of your home for good!
DAYTONA BEACH BAT PROBLEMS
In nature, bats will often live near bodies of water or in enclosed spaces such as caves, which allow them privacy and a good roosting area, as they are nocturnal creatures. Likewise, inside your home, bats love to get inside cozy areas such as attics and walls. A common problem associated with bats is the presence of dangerous spores contained within their droppings, which are called guano.
Safety When Handling Bats
- Despite their reputation for carrying rabies, less than half of 1% of bats actually carry the virus!
- Nevertheless, bats should never be picked up or grabbed.
- In order to keep colonies of the creatures from roosting in attics, proper precautions should be taken to cover or seal all vents, holes, chimneys, windows, and gaps leading inside homes.
Bat Trapping and Removal
Because bats may carry disease, individuals should never approach them. Bats also bite and scratch when they feel threatened and can easily injure humans. Critter Control technicians are trained to humanely remove any bat problems plaguing residential and commercial properties.
