How to get bats out of your house

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 24, 2023

Bats are one of the most common home invaders around the world, and while they’re usually harmless, they’re certainly not welcome — and for good reason. When bats roost in homes — usually in attics and other dry, warm places — they create a mess of droppings and pee that emits an unpleasant aroma. And if they manage to get into the living area of a home, there’s a concern they could carry rabies, a viral disease that can be transmitted to humans through a bite. So if you do find a bat or several in your home, what’s the best plan of action? One option is to call a professional, a pest-removal specialist who can evict the bats safely, efficiently and effectively. The other option is to get rid of the critters yourself.
