Bats can carry serious health risks including:

  • Rabies – Though rare, bats account for most rabies cases in wildlife. Even small, undetected bites while sleeping require immediate medical attention
  • Histoplasmosis – A respiratory disease caused by fungal spores in bat guano that can become airborne
  • Bat Mites – Parasites that can infest your home and bite humans
  • Structural Damage – Accumulated guano damages insulation, drywall, and can cause ceiling stains and odors
