How Do You Know If You Are Sharing Your Home With Bats?
There are no mammals other than bats that can fly. All other mammals with flight-like abilities are only capable of gliding. Most bats eat insects, while others eat fruit. Bats help pollinate tropical flowers and spread fruit seeds around so new plants can grow. If you should discover that you are sharing your home with bats, the best thing to do would be to find an effective, humane and ecologically sound method of clearing them out.
You’ve probably heard the term, “Blind as a bat”, but the truth is that, while their eyesight is not the best, bats are not blind. Echolocation can give bats a detailed map of their surroundings and guide them through nearly any obstacle.

Some of the horror stories are true. For example, vampire bats actually do feast on the blood of mammals and also birds, though this does not, of course, mean they are vampires. A bat will skim the surface of a body of water to collect one single drop of water, then repeat this process until its thirst has been quenched. Besides spreading fruit seeds and pollinating flowers, bats produce nutrient rich guano that can be used to fertilize farmer’s fields.
While the bite of a bat won’t turn you into a vampire, it is important to understand that these bites can be quite dangerous to human beings. Though cases of rabies from animal bites are quite few in the United States, most of them do come from dogs and bats.
A bat with rabies is very ill, and may not understand what is occuring. This makes it more likely that the bat will have a confrontation with a human being that may end in a bite.
If a bat enters your home, separate it from the people in the house as best you can, and then close all of the windows but one. The bat should leave. In the case of a family of bats infesting your home, you should call a professional and not attempt to deal with the problem yourself.
