Give Bats an Easy Way Out -- Embrace Expert Exclusion
Bat Control in New England
Homeowners all around the region know that bats can be a common problem -- but chances are you’d rather not get too close to determine exactly what kind of winged wildlife is haunting your home.
No strangers to New England, there are up to eight species of bats that might relocate themselves into your residence.
Most bats pose a threat to human health and, when threatened or fearful, will bite, with some carrying rabies. What’s worse, bats keep questionable company -- namely, bat bugs. A relative of the dreaded bed bug, bat bugs feed on blood and, like the bats they flew in on, require professional pest removal in order to be fully eradicated from your home.

Where Bats May Be Hiding in Your Home
Bats are brilliant at breaking into spaces that might suit their needs. Barns, attics, eaves, garages, loose siding, even tucking behind shingles and shutters -- all are ideal areas for bats to roost.
Can’t tell if you have bats in the belfry? Check your ceilings. Guano, or bat droppings, along with body oils from the bats, often seep through a structure’s ceilings, leaving a lingering brown or black stain.
Dangers of Having Bats in Your Home
The greatest dangers of having bats in your home concern health and hygiene. While bats can carry disease, like rabies, bat guano presents the fungus histoplasmosis. When exposure to histoplasmosis is contained within the lungs, the result is a severe respiratory infection. Bad enough; however, if left untreated, histoplasmosis can spread throughout the body and prove fatal.
Hygienically, an accumulation of guano requires professional removal and sanitation services, along with the complete replacement of insulation within the affected area.
