Disease<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The most important reason why you do not want bats too close to your property is the risk of disease. Not only are bats known carriers of the Rabies virus, which once contracted is 100% fatal, they can also possess and transmit several other types of diseases, health complications, and outbreaks. Such risks include Histoplasmosis, which is an upper respiratory disease contracted as a result of toxic spores that grow on bat guano. See our blog, \u201cWhat is Histoplasmosis?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about this disease, including who it affects the most and how to prevention tips. Additional risks include lice, mites, ticks, fleas, and other parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bats in the Kentucky regions are very small. So small in\nfact, most can squeeze themselves through an opening as little as 3\/8ths of an\ninch, or .037 inches. To give you an idea of how small this is, consider a dime,\nwhich is around .053 inches thick. This means that the tiniest opening in\nwindow screens, siding, roof shingles, crumbling mortar, and more, can be an\nopen door for bats to come inside and roost. Furthermore, bats are not solitary,\nso where there\u2019s one, there\u2019s typically handfuls more. Once inside, bats soil\nevery surface with their droppings, which can result in stains, leaks, wood\nrot, and all types of costly structural damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned before, bats are important ecologically, which is why they are also protected under law. It is illegal to trap, harm, or kill bats in Kentucky. For this reason, it is necessary to hire a licensed and insured wildlife abatement company that provides non-lethal bat removal services in your town. Coming across a dead, dying, or abandoned bat is also common if you have bats around your property, so you should know how to respond if it ever happens to you.
