Identifying Bats
In Tennessee, there are 15 bat species, but only six of them are commonly found in attics or other enclosed spaces. Bats are truly remarkable creatures as they are the only mammals capable of genuine flight. Their coloration can range from brown to gray, depending on the species. The bones in their wings act as support, and their wing membranes extend down their sides, connecting with their legs. Bats’ unique ability to hang upside down is facilitated by their specialized feet, which are not meant for climbing but provide excellent adhesion to surfaces. Being insectivores, bats primarily subsist on insects. It's fascinating how they manage to consume enough insects every night to equal their own body weight.
Bats Problems and Damage
As they try to enter your home, bats can harm the structure, siding, and interior areas. In their efforts to gain in, they might make openings. Additionally, it is well recognized that various diseases and insects that pose serious health threats to you, your family, and even your pets are associated with bats.
Prevention and Exclusions
