BATS 

Bats outside good…. bats inside, not good!  Bats are beneficial creatures controlling nuisance and dangerous pests such as mosquitoes and other insects but inside a dwelling they are dangerous.  In our area we have two types of bats that enter structure: the Big Brown Bat and the Small Brown Bat (that is their actual names), simple enough, right?  Both have a habit of entering structures and setting up house in numbers.  The two most prevalent dangers are their droppings they leave in the nest sites (guano) and rabies, both can produce fatal results.  If you have experienced a bat in the house first call your county health department and ask for instructions, second call our Call Center so that we can dispatch a trained inspector out to investigate the attic and the structure to determine how extensive extent the problem may be.  Remember, inspections are free and you are better safe than sorry.
