Bat Control facts

There are about 1,240 different species of bats and they can be found throughout the United States. Bats are warm blooded, furry mammals. They are the only mammal capable of flight. Bats are nocturnal animals. They are active at night and will roost during the day. Contrary to popular belief, they have excellent eyesight and use vision for long flight and echolocation for locating prey. Echolocation allows the bats to navigate by the echo from various sounds they make. Bats make slow ultrasonic sounds as they forage, then as they pursue and capture their prey they make the sounds quicker. The young are born mid June and in late July the young begin to fly.

Bats are warm-blooded mammals with body lengths of 3 to 6 inches and wingspans ranging from 8 to 16 inches. They also have fur. Bats commonly found using homes or buildings for roosts are the Little Brown Bat and the Big Brown Bat. The Little Brown bats have a wingspan of 8.5 to 10 inches and only weigh about .2 – .5 ounces while the Big Brown has a wingspan from 11 to 13 inches and weighs .5 – .625 ounces.

Bat Disease

Bats should never be handled at any time when found on the ground or in a home as they are vulnerable to rabies, like any mammal. Rabies is a potentially fatal disease, which is caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system.
