🦇 Bats are experts at finding places to roost, and your attic can be an inviting spot.

While bats play an important role in nature, having them inside your home can lead to unwanted noises, odors, droppings, and potential health concerns. Their droppings, known as guano, can accumulate and create conditions associated with histoplasmosis, a respiratory illness.

Bats can also carry rabies, which can be transmitted through direct exposure along with other zoonotic diseases.
