A little about bats here
Bats inhabit damp and dark isolated spaces like the crawl spaces, attics, basements, etc., they are
nocturnal creatures and come out in the dark to hunt for food. The unique feature of this amazing
mammal is they hang upside down when sleeping, holding on to the support with their powerful
claws. These creatures prefer dark places since they get blinded by sunlight; they basically
depend on their ears that are highly sensitive to communicate and gauge the distances. There are
almost 900 species of bats world over and they are mostly found in the tropics where food is
found in plenty. They mostly feed on insects and devour poisonous creatures like scorpions and
others since they are immune to their venom, they eat rodents, birds, fish, frogs and even
vegetarian stuff like fruit and nectar; and they do feed on blood if they find nothing else to eat.
How does one get to know that bats inhabit their homes?
Since bats do not come out in the daylight it is usually difficult to spot them in your homes, but
their presence can be known when you find bat droppings in and around the house. And you can
spot them sometimes in the dusk when they leave the building to hunt for food.
And when you have colonies of them residing in the dark spaces in your home or attic you will be
able to hear bat noises like squeaking or scratching and the other way of knowing is when your
house gets enveloped in a peculiar and an unpleasant odor that arises due to the accumulation of
guano or bat droppings.
