Bats Found In The Home<\/h2>\n
\"batsBats found in\u00a0the interior of your home can cause a\u00a0panic in Greater Nashville and Middle Tennessee, as they will fly wildly, back and forth\u00a0in your home,\u00a0and will usually be\u00a0noticed in the middle of the night going from room to room. Trying to think of who to call\u00a0in the middle of the night to remove a bat will often be challenging, or next to impossible. Animal<\/span> Control agencies will not be available. Police Departments will not assist with removal. Nationwide,\u00a0the only option will be a private wildlife control operator, as they will be available 24 hours a day. Many private wildlife control operators are available around the clock for assistance. It is very important that you do not attempt to\u00a0touch the bat. If the bat is flying,\u00a0and is in a room,\u00a0try to close access to that room. If the bat has been flying,\u00a0and has since landed on the ground, you can try to put a pot,\u00a0pan, or container over it. Ensure no\u00a0one in the home has came in contact with the bat. If the bat is confined to a room, tape the bottom of the door so there is no escape. Call a professional for assistance, as it is likely that you have a bigger issue. It is very rare that bats will be isolated, all alone, and they will usually be found in a colony. Bats that happened to enter the interior of the home usually indicates that bats are living in your attic, walls, or soffit. Contact a Animal<\/span> Pros<\/span> specialist, for immediate 24 hour assistance with removing bats from the interior of your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

What To Do If A Bat Is In The Interior<\/h2>\n
While bats in the interior of the home indicate the presence of a close by colony, there is some helpful steps to minimize the risk of a bat coming in contact with someone in the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • Try to isolate the bat, or confine it\u00a0to a room,\u00a0and then close off access to the room.<\/li>\n
  • If the bat\u00a0has landed on the ground,\u00a0you could try to cover it with a container.<\/li>\n
  • If the bat is flying in your home, you could try to open up the doors and windows of your home, in hopes that it does fly out.<\/li>\n
  • If the bat is hanging from my wall or ceiling, it is best to not disturb the bat, and call a professional for assistance.<\/li>\n
  • Do not try to kill the bat, and call a professional for assistance.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure no one in the home has came in contact with the bat, or has\u00a0been scratched or bitten.<\/li>\n
  • In the event, a\u00a0member in the home has been bitten, contact your local hospital, animal<\/span> control agency, or health department immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    While bats can carry rabies, that does not mean that every bat is rabid. Still, rabies is a fatal disease, and should be taken seriously. Bats do not attack, but\u00a0bats will bite if handled. Contact a Animal<\/span>Pros<\/span> specialist for 24 hour bat removal services.<\/span><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Dangers of Bats In The Home<\/h2>\n
    There are several dangers from bats being found in the interior of your home. Bats will often find their way for my attic or wall void into the interior of the home. While they will fly for a little while, they will often get tired and land on the ground. Once on the ground,\u00a0they will crawl around and are capable of climbing blankets, drapes, sheets, and other fabrics. This can create a serious safety\u00a0hazard, if it is in the middle of the night, and people are sound asleep in their bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
    \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
    In addition, health departments\u00a0suggest that if you are in the same room with a bat that is in the interior of the home, that you get a rabies post exposure treatment. In the recent years,\u00a0bats have been the source of the majority of the human rabies cases in the United States. In some cases, even with limited exposure to a bat, rabies transmissions can occur. So if you are bitten, scratched, or came in contact with saliva from a bat, the bat will need to be captured and tested. If you attempt to capture the bat on your own, use heavy protective\u00a0gloves, a\u00a0container with a lid, in contact your local health department. Or contact a Animal<\/span> Pros<\/span> specialist, as we can handle removal and rabies\u00a0submissions.<\/span><\/div>\n
    \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

    Bat Rabies Submissions<\/h2>\n
    You will first want to report the bite or other transmission to your local health department, as soon as possible. Using heavy protective gloves, a\u00a0shovel, or other method, place the bat in a secured container with a lid or old coffee can. Place a call to the nearest rabies testing facility or health department. In Tennessee, rabies testing facilities are located in Nashville, Knoxville, and Jackson.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
