Bat Control and Removal

Are Bats Dangerous?

While they do get a bad reputation for being on the “spooky” side of creatures, bats aren’t generally aggressive toward humans. However, even if you don’t need to worry about a bat attack, bats still pose significant health risks.

Bats are well known for being carriers of diseases, including rabies and coronavirus. Bat guano, also known as bat droppings, can introduce dangerous fungi into your home which can cause the lung infection histoplasmosis.
