Proceed With Caution

There are many unknown dangers when it comes to bats. If bats have nested in your home, it may go unnoticed. When this happens it is likely that the area will build up with feces and urine. This becomes extremely dangerous since these substances can carry histoplasmosis. Histoplasmosis is a disease carried in bat and bird droppings, and can be contracted if inhaled. To avoid this there are special precautions that must be taken when cleaning these areas. Along with this the bats themselves must be removed. Trying to remove bats yourself can also be a danger since they are likely to scratch or bite if threatened. These wounds may seem small but many bats carry rabies, which must be treated immediately. If you find bats in your home call Guardian Wildlife Services. We have people trained to deal with these situations in a way that is safe for them, and the animals.
