Bat Exterminator
Mismanaging bats can lead to bites. The genuine concern lies in their droppings, guano, which can harbor the fungus causing Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease especially dangerous for vulnerable individuals.
Why Bats Choose Your Home
Bats seek shelter in human dwellings for stable temperatures and protection. They don’t create entry points but exploit existing ones. Their presence indicates a nearby water source, an attraction for these mammals.
