Bats are protected due to the benefits they offer our environment. There are only a few methods we can offer to help remove them or prevent them from a location:
- Exclusion techniques
- Sealing points of entry during certain times of the year

If a bat finds its way into your living area, be careful when handling them as they can carry Rabies. Wear leather gloves and try not to touch them directly.
