BatsIf you have a bat in your home, you should call a professional to address the issue quickly and safely, for you and the bat.

Bats are probably one of the better pests you can be bothered with.

If you cannot figure out a way to remove the bat from your home without harming it, please call a professional or American Pest Control for help.

If you find a bat in your home, that might be an indicator that there are other bats in your home, most likely in your attic.

Bats can take up residence in a home for years without the owners ever knowing.

Bats actually are great animals - as long as they stay out of your home. Bats eat flying insects and bugs. If you see bats flying over your yard or resting between feedings on your eaves, count yourself lucky.
