Removing Bats From Your Home
Of the seven species of bats that can be found in Minnesota, only two will try to take up residence in your home. Those two species are the little brown myotis and the large brown bat. This sounds like pretty good odds, right? Not exactly. The reality is that most people, even those who are not afraid of bats, do not want any species of bat moving into their house.

You may have enough knowledge of bats to appreciate that they are intelligent and do a great deal of good for our ecosystem by keeping insect populations in check. You may also know that bats are the only mammal that can fly.

Around this time of year, little four-legged critters begin to find their way into your home. Through cracks as tiny as one small marble, mice can invade your home and start their own little family. That little family can quickly turn into an infestation that can then lead to structural and electrical damage in the home. Oh, and did we mention salmonella? That can happen too! Don’t let mice take root in your home. If you notice a mouse in your space, do something about it quickly. Let Minnesota Wild Animal Management help you with all of your mice removal issues.
Of all of the wild animals that can get into your home, bats can cause some of the most significant problems. Bats carry and transmit diseases to humans, so it is very important that you contact a professional if you think that you have bats in your home. In addition, if you come into close contact (or are bitten) by a bat, you should always seek medical attention immediately. Bats can carry rabies which can be dangerous to humans…
