How to Identify Bats
Bats can be identified by a number of characteristics. First, bats have wings that are made of skin and hair. The wings are attached to their arms and hands, which they use to fly. Bats also have thick skin, large eyes, and long ears.
There are many different species of bats in New York. Two of the most common include the small brown bat and the large brown bat.
THE SIGNS OF BATS
Besides seeing bats in your home or place of business, other telltale signs of a bat problem are seeing bat droppings around air conditioners, on the roof, in attics, down the siding, and next to a building’s foundation. If you see a one bat within a dwelling, you may have a colony of roosting bats living somewhere in the structure such as the attic, ductwork, a chimney, drop ceilings, or within gaps in an exterior wall.
THE RISKS OF BATS
