Bat infestations can attract secondary pests such as bat bugs, mites, and ticks, which can then spread throughout the home and cause additional problems.
Bat guano can carry fungal spores that cause Histoplasmosis, a severe respiratory disease. Additionally, bats can carry rabies, which poses a direct health risk to humans and pets if bitten or scratched.
Bats often roost in attics, walls, and other structures of homes, leading to damage from their droppings (guano). Guano buildup can cause structural weakening and lead to the growth of harmful mold.
