The Unseen Dangers of Bat Infestations

Feb 05, 2024

A seemingly harmless guest, bats often decide to take up residence in our homes, particularly in the attic. While they might seem benign, bat infestations carry unseen dangers that homeowners need to understand. Today we decipher these hidden risks and unveil how Ratman's effective bat removal process safeguards your home, restoring peace of mind.


Understanding the Risks


Bats are a crucial part of our ecosystem, but they don't share our living spaces peacefully. They host ectoparasites such as fleas, mites, and ticks, which can cause uncomfortable and sometimes serious health reactions in humans. Moreover, their droppings, also known as guano, can develop fungus and release spores into the air that lead to the lung infection Histoplasmosis if inhaled.


Another concern is the potential for rabies transmission. Though rare, there is a risk, especially if you have curious pets or children in the home who might handle a grounded bat.


Property Damage


Bats can also damage your property. They are notorious for chewing on wooden structures, wires, and insulation. Furthermore, their droppings and urine can cause severe damage and odor issues, notably to your attic and eaves. Bat infested areas often undergo wear and tear that can escalate repair costs if left unchecked.


Ratman's Approach to Bat Removal


While these dangers might sound alarming, the good news is, professional help is available. Ratman Rodent & Wildlife Removal provides safe, humane, and proven-effective methods for bat removal, always considering the wellbeing of the bats and your family's safety.


Our expert team conducts thorough property inspections to locate the bat colony, determine their access points, and gauge the extent of any damage. Then follows the safe removal of the bats using state-of-the-art, humane methods and equipment.


Post-removal, we work on property restoration, including repairing any damages caused by the bats and deep cleaning of infested areas. Furthermore, we prioritize bat proofing your home to prevent future intrusions.
