What Happens If You Find a Bat in Your Home?

Description

Finding a bat inside your house can be startling, but staying calm is the best first move. Bats are protected in many areas, and they can carry diseases like rabies, so never handle one with bare hands. Close the doors to the room, open a window if possible, and give the bat a chance to leave on its own.
If it doesn’t leave, or if you suspect a colony is roosting in your attic or walls, call an animal control service right away. Arkansas Wildlife Removal understands the legal removal methods required, especially during maternity season, and can handle the situation safely. Acting quickly protects both your family and the bats.
