🦇 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.

🔎 Can you spot the signs?

Rodents can easily get inside homes, but they often leave clues behind. Some signs to keep an eye out for include:

✅ Rodent tracks
✅ Damage from gnawing or displaced insulation
✅ Droppings in kitchens, attics or other areas of the home
✅ Unusual noises, like squeaking or scampering

Spotting these signs early can help you recognize rodent activity and take the next step toward addressing it.
