Why Remove the Bats

Anyone who has bats living or roosting in their building is likely very familiar with the unpleasant experience of encountering the unwanted guests and/or the associated noise and odour problems that may accompany a bat infestation.

What many people may not be aware of is that there are also significant potential health risks associated with human exposure to bats that may result from sharing a dwelling or work place. The two primary diseases of concern are Bat Rabies and Histoplasmosis, which is caused by a fungus that grows in the bat guano (droppings). Bat infestation may also lead to a Bat Bug infestation in buildings. Bat Bugs have often been mistaken for Bed Bugs as they look very similar.
