Surprising Facts About Bats - AAA Pest & Wildlife

Bats are mysterious creatures. If you’ve ever seen one, it was probably either in a glass box at the zoo, or as a flash of black across a summer sky. Bats are nocturnal, meaning they’re active at night when we’re sleeping. So unlike deer or birds that are awake during the day like us, bats are harder to get a good look at, and who isn’t a little scared of the things they can’t see?

Because of their nighttime habits, bats get a pretty bad rap. But bats are actually pretty cool creatures once you get to know them, and AAA Pest and Wildlife wants to tell you why.

The Bat Removal Experts in Montgomery County

Here are 7 bat facts from the Montgomery County bat removal team who knows them best:

1. Bats can live for more than 30 years; that’s about three times as long as your dog!
2. Don’t challenge a bat to a race…they can fly at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour!
3. Hate mosquitoes? Then bats should be your best friends! Many species eat insects and can eat up to 1200 mosquitoes an hour. This helps level the bug populations.
4. Other bats eat fruit or nectar, and a few live off the blood of animals. But don’t worry! None of the blood-sucking species live in the United States.
5. Over half of the bat species in the U.S are endangered. That’s why if you see one in your home it’s important to call your trusty Montgomery County bat removal team to safely remove it!
6. Bats usually have only one pup a year, and each one is unique. A mama bat can find her babies amongst thousands of other bats by their distinct sounds and scents!
7. Bats can get rabies, but a sick bat won’t seek out humans to attack them. Instead, they usually look for a secluded spot to die quietly.
