Working in cooperation with the public, much important information about why customers should take seriously an unexpected event of bats in their attic. The bulk of this information relates to health concerns.

The number one concern that can pose a big risk to a customer is rabies. It is not commonly known, but less than 10% of bats have rabies and can spread it easily. What is intriguing about this fact is that nearly all cases of rabies in humans are caused by that same small percentage of the total population. Indeed, that is powerful evidence that customers should be careful not to handle bats by themselves.

Rabies is not to be taken lightly. If not addressed soon enough, it could become fatal. Nuisance Wildlife Marshals stress that if customers find that bats have entered their attic to call them immediately and to refrain from coming in contact with these animals.

Another health concern is related to bat droppings, referred to as guano. Contagious spores exist in guano that is harmful if a person breathes them in. A condition called histoplasmosis can cause respiratory problems, and if they become severe, they can lead to hospitalization or worse.

Now factor in that bats can leave their droppings up to 20 times per day. Imagine all of that in the attic, dangerous spores and all. This underscores the seriousness of the matter, as well as the sense of responsibility that Nuisance Wildlife Marshals has taken to protect people from the harmful effects from bats.

As weight as all of this information is, it merely scratches the surface about all the reasons why a case of bats in the attic should not be taken lightly. If this is happening to the home, call Nuisance Wildlife Marshals without hesitation, and as a reminder, do not attempt to come in contact with the bats. Let the professionals do what they are trained to do.

Owner Travis Schlegel reveals the types of bats that may invade the attic. "The most common species of bats that our customers deal with is known as the Brazilian Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis). They are found throughout Florida in large numbers and are actually considered to be one of the most abundant mammals in North America. They have short fur that varies in color from dark brown to grayish brown. These particular bats are also equipped with a scent gland that emits a musky odor that is very strong and unique.

"This species is known for forming huge colonies ranging from a few hundred to several thousand, and they roost almost exclusively in man-made structures such as buildings and bridges. Like most bats, Brazilian Free-Tailed Bats are nocturnal foragers and are most active after dusk. This species is insectivorous and feeds mostly on moths, beetles, mosquitoes, and other insects. They have one pup per year in the early summer and have a lifespan of 6-8 years."
