ANY BAT CAPTURED IN YOUR LIVING SPACE NEEDS TO BE TESTED FOR YOUR PROTECTION.
Bats are vital to our natural ecosystem. They are insectivorous and are the principal or exclusive pollinators for many plants. Others aid in the dispersing of seeds. Despite their many benefits, bats can carry rabies and histoplasmosis, a respiratory infection caused by bat guano or droppings. At NJ Pest Control, we understand and appreciate the delicate balance in protecting bats and protecting our customers and their homes.
Seven different species of bats either live or pass through NJ at some point during the year. It is essential to know these different bats’ behavior and habits as they are protected under the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Conservation Act. The wildlife professionals at NJ Pest Control have the experience and knowledge to deal with all of the bat species. We have both of NJ’s Nationally Certified Structural Bat Management Professionals on staff. This designation is achieved after the extensive demonstration and testing of in-depth knowledge in bat biology, behavior, identification, rabies and other health hazards, and white-nose syndrome.
