Bats living in a home are not easy to remove. You could easily get bitten or hurt the bat if you do not have the right tools, knowledge, or skillset. Additionally, if you forget to block the entrance that the bats go through, then they will probably come back. The most effective technique to remove them is to catch them live and relocate them to a new home. However, some people actually hang special bat houses for them. You can find over the counter solutions to repel bats, but these are not recommended. Fingerlakes Wildlife and Pest Control cautions landholders about these DIY products. They are not guaranteed to keep bats away or totally get rid of an infestation. These products usually contain harsh chemicals, which may kill the bats, and could also harm you, your family or your pets.
-
If you have a bat issue, you are required to have a rabies booster for pets such as dogs and cats.
-
The diseases that they could carry are rabies, histoplasmosis, or even the ebola virus in rare cases.
Rabies could be spread to you or your pets if bitten by an infected bat. There is no cure for rabies once symptoms appear, making prevention crucial for the safety of your home. Immediate medical attention is necessary in the event of potential exposure.
Histoplasmosis is a lung disease derived from a fungus that grows in bat poop, also known as guano. If you have a bat infestation, then you are at risk to catch this illness.
Bats can also be infested with a parasite similar to bed bugs that could invade your house. So, if you have bats, then call Fingerlakes Wildlife and Pest Control experts that will treat your home through a quick and skilled service.
-
Birds can carry a number of diseases transmittable to humans or pets such as Salmonellosis, Psittacosis, various fungal infections or viruses such as Avian Influenza, and can carry parasites such as mites that can also transmit diseases.
