Bats are winged mammals that are native to the Greater Boston area. While the critters normally roost in caves and trees, it is common for bats to nest in commercial and residential structures. Unfortunately, having a bat in your Canton home or business can lead to costly damage. Furthermore, bat removal is a delicate process that requires licensed removal by trained professionals. Therefore, if you’re dealing with a bat problem on your Canton property, rely on the professionals at Critter Control® of Boston to safely and permanently exclude bats from your home.
The Toxic Danger of a Bat Infestation
The longer bats stay inside your Canton property, the more damage they can cause. Some of the dangers bats pose to you, your home, and your loved ones include:
- Property damage: Bats can create holes in roofs to enter and exit Once inside, they’ll nest above insulation, electrical wires, and stored belongings, destroying them with their corrosive and toxic droppings. Such a mess can lead to unpleasant odors and serious damage that can put your home’s structural integrity at risk over time.
- Risk of parasites: Bats are known carriers of parasites such as fleas and ticks, which can easily spread to you and your loved ones if left unchecked.
- Spread of disease: While usually docile, bats will bite or scratch if they feel threatened. Unfortunately, they’re also known carriers of rabies, which can pass through direct contact. Additionally, dried bat guano can be toxic to humans if inhaled. Their feces can carry histoplasmosis, which is a dangerous respiratory illness.
