Bat guano can develop a fungal disease known as Histoplasmosis;\nand if the spores of this fungus enter the air ducts, they can be dispersed all\nthroughout the property. If inhaled, they can cause serious respiratory\nillness. In fact, it can be fatal to young children, elderly, and those with\nweakened immune systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dangers of Histoplasmosis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection of the lungs that develops on bat guano. It is caused by the fungus, <em>Histoplasma<\/em>. Generally, it grows in wet soil abundant in bird or bat droppings; however, the fungus commonly grows on nitrogen-rich bat guano. In the case of a bat infestation, this fungal infection can put people and pets at risk because its spores can become airborne and circulate through a property\u2019s indoor environment. If inhaled, the fungal infection can be contracted by other living organisms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infants, young children, and those with suppressed immune systems are at higher risk of contracting histoplasmosis. Most people, especially those in good health, will not require any treatment if infected, and instead, will naturally heal on their own with ample rest and fluids. However, more vulnerable individuals, such as the ones mentioned before, can become seriously ill and require professional treatment. The most common signs of Histoplasmosis sickness includes high fever, cough, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Structural Damages<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>An equally vital part of bat cleanup is structural damage repair. This is important if you want to maintain a safe and structurally sound property, remain within local health codes, and prevent dangerous accidents. For these reasons and more, it is important to address your property\u2019s sanitation and repair needs immediately after a bat infestation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common nuisance bat species in Kentucky are Little Brown bats, Big Brown bats, and Hoary bats. Because of their extremely small size, they only need a gap that is about 3\/8ths of an inch in order to get inside a property. They often target crumbling mortar, dry rotting wood, attic vents, exterior cracks, loose siding, garages, crawl spaces, porches, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remedies<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can now gather, it is critical to your safety and budget to address a bat infestation problem as soon as possible.
