Things that go bump in,the night?
Bats may be in the attic
Mysterious noises in the night are often
the first indication a homeowner has that
bats have moved in upstairs.
The nightly squeaks from the attic or
walls are often accompanied by the
unpleasant odor of bat excretions.
Bats •can be a• nuisance »when they
establish colonies in buildings. They are
• also carriers of rabies and are 'hosts to,
Several species of bugs.
Of the 2Q or so species of 'hats found in
Canada, only two have much -contact with
humans the little. brown bat (Myotis
• lucifugus) and the big brown bat (Eptes-
icus fuscus). .
Both these spedes overwinter in Canada
in caves or mines and both use buildings in
, the summer for nocturnal roosting or
nurseries. Attics are a favorite nursery site
• because they are usually hot and dark.
• George Laidlaw: •a pest control expert
• with Agriculture Canada in Ottawa; says
the possibility of bats spreading diseases
such as rabies is always a concern.
, "The big brown bat poses the »niost
, danger_because its larger teeth are capable
•
:of piercing the skin. They also have a
- higher incidence of rabies in the bat
» population." Mr. Laidlaw says.
•Although the chances of a person
contracting rabies, from a bat are fairly
slim, Mr. Laidlaw cautions people to avoid, •
any bat that is acting in an unusual way.
, "Never handle a bat that's flying in the
daytime,. running into objects or otherwise .
acting abnormally," he warns.
-But. Mr. LaicliaW says we sheuldtt't,
destroy all bats just because some May
• carry rabies.
"'We must keep things in perspective;
Marc cows pass on rabies than bats. Bate
• also provide a useful functioti by eating a •
tremendous quantity of harmful insects."
• • • One hundred of the little brown bats will
eat about 20 kilograms,of insecte per year..
"It is best not to destroy bats, but to
1•keep them outof buildings," Mr. Laidlaw
When the bats have left the building for
the eight, screen an louvers and vents and
cover ehinineys and large ventilation
openings with metal•sereening. Any eracks
around eaves and ends of rafters should -be
sealed up,
Rotind-the-clock lighting of. attics with.
safety lamps during the summer months1
will discourage bats from roosting.. •
They may also be repelled be naphtha-
lene or peradichlorobenzene (moth" cryst-
als). They are riot likely to returnas long as
the peter of the chemical remains.•
If bats still Persist, » a licensed pest!.
