They\u2019re great for pollination and pest control. There are currently 16 different species here in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, sometimes our world collides with bats in ways that are less than desirable \u2013 they end up taking residence in your attic. The key is not to panic. The misconception that all bats are flying around spreading disease and carrying rabies is a myth.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not going to suck your blood and they\u2019re not very likely to get caught in your hair, but you\u2019ll probably want to avoid contact because that\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgia-wildlife-removal.com\/\">professional wildlife removal<\/a> is for.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Your Home \u2013 And the Bats!<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgia-wildlife-removal.com\/wildlife-removal\/bat-trapping-removal.html\">bat control<\/a>, there are some things you\u2019ll need to know. This is a pest control unlike others because in the state of Georgia, and in other states, these creates are protected. Here are a few things you should be aware of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There\u2019s a common myth going around that bats are so protected they can\u2019t even be removed from your home. The good news is that this isn\u2019t true; you\u2019re not stuck with a freeloading colony of houseguests for the rest of your life. The law does protect against the safe removal and that should involve a trained and experienced professional.<\/li>\n<li>Instances of bat bites or rabies resulting from a bat to human transfer are rare. So, don\u2019t buy into the hype that would mislead you to believe otherwise. However, leave the handling to the pros.<\/li>\n<li>The law states it\u2019s illegal or intentionally capture, kill, or harm bats and this includes any of the 16 species we have in the state of Georgia. Only two of the species of bats we have in the state of Georgia are protected by the Endangered Species Act and that\u2019s the gray bat and the Georgia Indiana bat. Luckily, neither of the two tend to favor human dwellings.<\/li>\n<li>The three types most commonly found in local homes are the Georgia big brown bat, the Georgia evening bat, and the Georgia Mexican free-tailed bat. Our team has plenty of experience handling the safe and humane bat exclusion process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Call us immediately if you need professional Atlanta wildlife removal services from our craw at Georgia Wildlife Removal.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To say that bats offer a lot to the Eco-system is an understatement.
