Bats

There’s the Indiana bat, and it’s from places such as Indiana and the middle of America. These bats eat bugs and they are in big danger because they’re losing their homes, getting sick, and people are bothering them. They prefer to dwell in place in forests when it’s warm and sleep in caves or old mines when it’s extremely cold. They like sleeping under tree bark, in holes in trees, or even in parts of buildings such as barns or people’s attics.

You could have these bats in your house if you find bat poop called guano close to small holes or close to the top of your house or by the fireplace. If there is a strange smell from the bat poop and pee, that might be a hint also. If at nighttime you hear some scratching or high little squeaky sounds, those are the bats making noises and moving around.

Dark spots around cracks in your house could mean bats have been coming in and out a lot. It’s not okay to hurt these bats or make them leave because they’re protected. If you think you have bats in your house, you should call people who know how to take care of animals to help figure it out and fix it the right way. The animal experts will probably close the holes where the bats get in but put in an acceptable door that lets the bats fly out and not come back.

Bats are vitally important because they eat a large amount of bugs, so we have to make sure we’re treating them nicely and following the rules. 

Bats are excellent at catching insects, but they are not good at staying in houses. Did you know bats shouldn’t be in your house or commercial property? Bats are good for the outside because they eat a large amount of bugs. But if they get inside your location, they can be a major problem and make you sick because their poop is really hazardous to breathe in, and they also make your location smell bad.

Signs of a Bat Infestation

Here are common signs you may need local bat removal:

  • Greasy Holes: If you see greasy spots or brown gunk by tiny holes or cracks, bats might be sneaking into your house. The marks come from oil on the bats’ skin when they move through these tiny spaces. 

  • Flying Bats When It Gets Dark: When the sky is dark, and you see bats flying close to your house, they’re probably dwelling in place close by. Bats go out at night to find food and come back before the sun comes up.

Common Bat Issues in Central Indiana

  1. White-Nose Syndrome (WNS)
  • A fungal disease that affects hibernating bats, causing them to wake up frequently and deplete fat reserves before winter ends.
  • It has significantly impacted bat populations in Indiana and beyond.
  1. Rabies in Bats
  • While bats can carry rabies, transmission only occurs if their saliva enters a person’s body (through a bite, scratch, or mucous membrane).
  • Not all bats have rabies, but caution is advised if one is found indoors, especially in bedrooms.
  • If needed, a bat can be tested for rabies through the Indiana Department of Health.
  1. Health Risks from Bat Guano
  • Fresh bat guano is not immediately dangerous, but as it accumulates and dries, it can release airborne fungal spores when disturbed.
  • These spores can lead to Histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease that can be severe for those with weakened immune systems.
  • Large bat colonies in attics or crawl spaces create significant guano buildup, requiring professional remediation.
  1. Structural Issues & Entry Points
  • Bats often enter homes through small openings near rooflines, soffits, gable vents, or chimneys.
  • Colonies can remain undetected for months, as bats are nocturnal and quiet compared to other nuisance wildlife.
  1. Legal Protection & Removal
  • In Indiana, bats are protected under state and federal law, meaning lethal removal is not permitted in most cases.
  • The best approach is humane exclusion, sealing entry points and installing one-way exit devices to allow bats to leave without re-entry.
  • Bat exclusion is seasonally restricted (typically April to mid-August) to prevent trapping flightless pups inside.
