There are more than 900 species of bats and of those bats, less than 1% of all bats have rabies. But, that doesn’t mean the other 99% of bats are good to have around the home. Carolina Wildlife Removal, a Raleigh bat removal company, wants to warn against the dangers of a bat infestation in the home.
Hearing high pitched squeaking noises and noticing mouse like droppings in the exterior of the home, are the two main things that are noticed when bats infest a home.
The largest risks that bat infestations can cause for Raleigh homeowners include:
- Rabies Exposure. It is important to note that rabid bats are rare, but it is tough to know if the situation involves rabid bats. Thus, a Raleigh bat removal company will treat all bats as though they are rabid. If a rabid bat comes in contact with a human, it can be dangerous to their health and may even lead to death if left untreated. Post exposure rabies vaccinations are costly.
- Odor. One of the first signs of a bat infestation in the home is stains on the walls cause by the oils of their skin or droppings. However, more damage can be done by bats. If the problem isn’t properly dealt with, the droppings can accumulate and cause odor issues. This is why it is very important to call a Raleigh wildlife removal company when the signs start showing up around the home.
- Damage. Your attic insulation can become soiled and compressed by the bat activity. This can result in a very expensive remediation project.
