Bat Control Columbus
Have you been hearing disturbing sounds at night around your home? If so, you may have a bat control problem!
Bats are unique in the animal kingdom as they are the only true flying mammals. A thin membrane of skin stretches from the long, modified front legs to the back legs and then to the tail. The bones in the bat's “fingers” are greatly elongated and support the wings.
Bats in the United States are almost always beneficial. Many bats feed on insects and can consume up to half their body weight in one night's feeding. Occasionally, however, they become a nuisance inside buildings or pose a public health problem. The bats that most often become a problem around people are those that live in colonies or groups, such as little brown bats and big brown bats. These species sometimes hibernate or roost inside buildings.
Roosting and hibernating sites may occur in building attics, wall and ceiling voids, belfries, chimney voids, unused furnaces, and the like. The bats' droppings and urine can cause foul odors and stains in walls and ceilings. Their squeaking and scrambling noises can be intolerable to residents of the building.
Bats are associated with a few diseases that affect people. Rabies and histoplasmosis are the most serious. Rabies is a dangerous and fatal disease, however, the bat's role in transmission has been greatly exaggerated. Although bats are confirmed carriers of the disease, only a few human fatalities have been attributed to bat bites. Nevertheless, care must be exercised when handling bats.
