Bat Control in NYC

What do most of us know about bats? Dubbed the flying rat, most of us know that bats come out at night, and we picture them flying out of caves like we have seen in the movies. But there is much more to the animal. Bats are actually quite similar to us. They too are mammals, have hair, and have wings that are anatomically similar to the human hand. With almost 1,000 species in the world, bats make up a quarter of all mammal species on this planet. If you are in need of bat control in NYC, the bats you have encountered can only fall into one of two categories. The brown bat and the red bat. All other types are found outside of New York.

While many people find these creatures scary and off-putting, bats are actually beneficial. These animals eat many harmful insects so it is not the worst thing if they live nearby. But that does not mean they should ever be welcomed in your home. Reason being, bat droppings, known, as guano, as well bat urine, can be quite dangerous. If you do find bats dwelling in your home, you need to cal Alco Pest for bat control in NYC.

The unpleasant smell they produce is bad enough, but the odor is actually attracting arthropods and can cause damage to the infrastructure of your home.
