Bats
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, bats consume about 1,200 mosquito-sized insects an hour. In fact, some species of bats disperse seeds, pollinate plants, and feed on beetles and other insect populations that destroy crops.
While these benevolent critters can do good for the environment, they pose home and health risks when they venture into your home.
Risk Caused by Bats infestation:
- Risk of rabies: Coming into contact with a bat is highly dangerous and can expose homeowners to rabies, a painful and life-threatening disease. Rabies can result from bites, scratches, and even holding bats.
- Undesirable allergies:Living in a home with bats can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, including asthma and congestion.
- Structural damage to your home: Bat droppings, known as guano, can cause significant structural damage to your house by eating away at wood and other building materials around your home.
- Risk of histoplasmosis: This infection comes from inhaling a fungus found in the droppings of bats and unwanted birds. Symptoms include fever, cough, and fatigue and can last for weeks or even months. We recommends professionals clean up large amounts of bat feces.
- Unpleasant odor:Over time, the smell of guano can become quite unpleasant, making your home difficult to inhabit.
