Bats Nuisance Concerns:

• – Guano (bat droppings) is a fertile ground for fungal diseases called “Histoplasmosis” and can be transferred to humans who breathe in the fungal spores
• – Histoplasmosis can be fatal
• – Caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum
• – Symptoms include fever, anemia, and weight loss
• – Bat bugs (commonly confused with—and related to–bed bugs) are usually found along with a colony.
• – Known carriers of rabies and other diseases
• – Most rabies deaths in the US are associated with bats

Bat Removal:

• – Can only be killed if creating a nuisance in dwellings
• – Best technique: APCS will install “ONE WAY” bat doors so that they can get out but not back in
• – Within a week, APCS will pull traps and seal the entry
• – For reliable removal, check for more entries and seal them all
• – Guano clean up services are offered
