\u22b6 Install a Bat House<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Bat houses are fun and supportive, all at the same time! See our blog, \u201cThe Benefits of Putting Up a Bat House<\/a>\u201d to learn just how wonderful having bat houses around your property can be, for both you and the local bat populations around town. There are several important rules and guidelines for installing a bat house, so be sure to learn what you need to know before getting started. Bat houses must be specifically constructed and hung. For example, you should not mount a bat house on a tree because it can put bats at risk of certain predators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u22b6 Respect Their Personal Space<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Bats sometimes lose their way. They can either enter into an area they are not wanted, get lost from their mother, or even suffer an injury. As a result, it is common to come across a bat. If this ever happens, it is vital that you never attempt to move, touch, trap, harm, or kill a bat under any circumstances. Not only is it inhumane and potentially dangerous to you, it is also against the law. Some bat species that are native to Kentucky are listed as state and federally endangered. See our blog, \u201cMost Common Species of Bat Found in Kentucky<\/a>\u201d to learn more about threatened bat species in our state. You may also benefit from our blog, \u201cWhat to Do If You Find a Dead Bat<\/a>\u201d or \u201cHere\u2019s What to Do if You Have a Bat in the House<\/a>\u201d for guidance on similar situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u22b6 Make Wellness Donations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you want to show your support for both local and national bat populations, you can make wellness donations, money or time, to a bat conservation and Rabies management initiative, such as the Kentucky Wildlife Center<\/a>, Cave and Karst Protection Program<\/a>, Bat Conservation International<\/a>, Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation<\/a>, the Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary<\/a>, and the Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
