Public Safety Announcement: How To Handle Bats Properly

Bats & Rabies- ” It is never alright for bats to be found in any home or attic. Bats are known to carry rabies and even though a small percentage of them actually carry the rabies disease  it is impossible to tell if any bat has the disease. Never personally handle any bat . If you need emergency bat removal make sure you notify a animal control professional like us to  handle them both safely and humanely “ -Robb Russell, The Wildlife Professional Network
