First, keep in mind that bats are known carriers of several infectious\ndiseases, such as Rabies. They can also spread parasites like lice, mites, and\nticks. If you have pets, it is wise to ensure their vaccines are up to date\nafter spotting bats around the house. Now, the second warning is about the law.\nBats are actually vital to our surrounding ecosystems and even our economy,\nwhich is why they are protected under law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of these reasons combined, you should NEVER attempt to touch, trap, harm, or kill a bat under any circumstances. Furthermore, do not keep a baby bat as a pet.
