How Bat Infestations Occur
Bats wings give them easy access to attics and roofs. Therefore, they may make their way into houses. Additionally, they can fit through small hoes and enter in search of a safe space to hibernate during the cold-winter months and develop colonies of a few or large numbers of individuals. The following can also allow bats inside your home:
- uncapped chimneys
- gaps around the roof and fascia boards
- hols in vent screens
- doors and windows without proper weather stripping
How Series Are Bats?
While typically beneficial, bats are a health concern in Bryan/College Station homes. They are a vector for rabies, a rare but serious disease that may pass to humans through bites.
Also, their guano, or feces, encourages the growth of a harmful fungus that is the causative organism of histoplasmosis.
Bats sometimes fall into wall voids when entering attics. These openings may allow them to fly into living spaces or trap them inside. Not only will this create a foul smell, the carcass of a trapped bat also attracts flies and other pests.
