Might You Be Sharing Your House With Bats?
There are no mammals other than bats that can fly. All other mammals with flight-like abilities are only capable of gliding. Most bats eat insects, while others eat fruit. Bats help pollinate tropical flowers and spread fruit seeds around so new plants can grow. If you should discover that you are sharing your home with bats, the best thing to do would be to find an effective, humane and ecologically sound method of clearing them out.
Thanks to their ability of echolocation, bats can “see” better than human beings could ever hope to. Echolocation can give bats a detailed map of their surroundings and guide them through nearly any obstacle.

A few of the scary stories are real. For instance, vampire bats really do feast on the blood of mammals and also birds, but just because they drink blood does not mean they are going to turn into Count Dracula before your eyes. Like you and I, bats drink water, only they have a very special method of hydrating themselves. Besides spreading fruit seeds and pollinating flowers, bats produce nutrient rich guano that can be used to fertilize farmer’s fields.
A bat bite can carry SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), the Nepah and Hendra virus, and of course rabies. Though cases of rabies from animal bites are quite few in the United States, most of them do come from dogs and bats.
A bat with rabies is very ill, and likely does not understand what is happening. Due to the small size of their teeth, a bat bite can actually go unnoticed by someone who is sleeping at the time, or drunk from alcohol.
If a bat flutters into your home, try not to panic, and to open a window away from people inside the house. The bat will most likely eventually fly out the window. In the case of a family of bats infesting your home, you should call a professional and not attempt to deal with the problem yourself.
