| Rabies Information: "Worldwide, more than 30,000 humans die from rabies each year, and 99% of these deaths are due to contact with rabid dogs." "All mammals can contract rabies; however, even the 0.05% of bats that do, normally bite only in self-defense and pose little threat to people who do not handle them." BBC News: Study rules out bat rabies threat |

| Bat House Information: Bats only live in attics because they no longer have natural habitat to live in. They'd much rather live in their own trees, caves, and bat houses than the attics of people's homes. "[Most] bats typically roost in the attics of... buildings because there aren't as many hollow standing trees around any more." ***************************** "Q: My neighbors have a bat house. Am I in danger from bats they may attract flying around my house? A: No. Bats are part of the normal environment and they are there in some numbers every spring and summer. You are not in danger from bats flying around your house. If a neighbor's bat house is successful, the only change would be that the bats living there would do their first hunting close by and help rid the area of such pests as mosquitoes. In spring and summer bats are flying around at all times of the night, just as birds are during the day. We are just less aware of them because it is harder to seem them." |
