Nuisance bats are dangerous to have around if they are too close. Not only do they carry transmissible diseases and parasites, like Rabies, they can also invade interior areas of a property and cause a long list of costly, structural damages. If you suspect that bats are becoming a problem nearby, it is important to act fast. The longer you wait to correct a nuisance wildlife issue, the higher the risk of damage and cost to repair such damage.

Whether you have bats around or inside, follow these 3 steps for a fast and safe solution:

❶ Emergency Bat Removal

If you have a dead or injured bat on your property, a bat in the house, or bats in the attic, you need emergency bat removal service. Most companies operate on a 24 hour basis to provide emergency bat extraction services because bats are dangerous. See our blog, “Why are Bats Dangerous?” to learn why. If you have a bat in the house, shut off all entry ways to the area except one so to encourage the bat to fly out on its own. Separate yourself and your loved ones, including pets, in another room that is closed off from the bat while waiting for bat removal professionals to arrive.

❷ Environmental Modifications

One of the most important and effective tasks you can take on yourself to thwart bat activity around your property is to make some influential environmental changes to your landscaping to reduce bat’s interest in your premises. For instance, remove or obstruct anything that can provide shelter for bats, such as log and compost piles, old treehouses or bird houses, hollowed trees, and large rock crevices.

❸ Professional Bat Control

Once you have molded your landscape into a bat-free zone, it is necessary to hire a professional bat control company to inspect and repair the exterior of your home or building for openings, gaps, and similar vulnerabilities that bats can squeeze through. Included with your professional preventative maintenance services, you should consider having some bat abatement technology installed in order to scare bats away without harming them, such as motion-sensor lighting, automatic sprinkler systems, ultrasonic sound emitters, and more.

Rabies is the most connected illness to bats. The reality is that countless other animals carry the rabies virus as well, but bats happen to be a notoriously known carrier. To catch rabies from a bat, a person or animal would have to be bitten, ingest their saliva, or come into contact with their waste matter.

If you ever come into contact with a suspected rabid bat, be sure to seek out immediate medical attention. For now, it is wise to learn the common signs of a bat that is infected with rabies.

There are various signs and symptoms a bat can demonstrate when it is infected with the rabies virus. From these various signs, there are 4 that tend to be parallel with most cases. If you see these signs in a bat, immediately get away from them and contact a licensed Indianapolis bat removal company for safe and humane extraction services. Never, under any circumstances, attempt to touch, trap, move, or harm a bat, regardless if it is ill or not.

Here are the top 4 signs of a rabid bat:

❶ The Bat is Active in Daytime

Bats are nocturnal mammals, which mean they live in 3rd shift hours, between dusk and dawn. If a bat is seen active or awake during the daytime, it is a common indication of illness.

❷ The Bat Cannot Fly

Bats are the only mammal on Earth capable of true flight. If you see a bat and it is having trouble flying, or cannot fly at all, it is a strong indication that they are ill; possibly with the Rabies virus.

❸ The Bat Allows You to Come Close

Bats, like most wild animals, are not conditioned to trust humans. They will naturally flee or show defensive signs (i.e. growling, hissing, crouching, etc.) if humans attempt to come too close. So if a bat allows you to approach it, there is a good chance it is sick or seriously injured.

❹ The Bat is Grounded

Well bats do not hang out near ground-level areas, nor any other place that exposes them to predators. When you find a bat on the ground, or some other unusual location, it is usually because they are sick or injured.
