New York is home to nine species of bats:
In central New York, only four of these species are found living in manmade structures (big brown bat, little brown bat, northern long eared, and occasionally the eastern small footed). The big brown bat is the most common bat found living is man-made structures. The little brown bat, northern long-eared, and eastern small-footed have been found inhabiting buildings, but due to their declining population, we do not find many.
Because bats inhabit buildings, they are often classified as a pest. The most common complaints we receive are:
Bats can carry diseases like rabies and histoplasmosis, which can be transmitted to humans through bites or contact with their droppings.
It is important to stay calm and avoid direct contact with the bat. Close the door to the room and contact a professional bat control service for safe removal.
No, not all species of bats found in New York are harmful. Some species play a crucial role in controlling insect populations and are considered beneficial to the environment.
Sealing all entry points, such as cracks and gaps in the attic or walls, and installing bat houses in the vicinity can help deter bats from entering your home.
Strange noises and foul odors in the attic could indicate a bat infestation. Contact a professional bat control service to inspect and address the issue promptly.
