Identifying Bats
There are 15 different species of bat in Tennessee, but only six of them are frequently seen in attics or other enclosed spaces. The fact that bats are the only mammals capable of true flight makes them extremely exceptional. Depending on the species, they might be anything from brown to gray in hue. The bones in bats' arms serve as a support for their wings, and the membranes that cover them reach down along their sides to join with their legs. The ability to hang upside down is made possible by their little feet, which are ideal for adhering to objects despite not being made for climbing. Bats are insectivores, which means they primarily eat insects. It's amazing that they can eat enough insects every night to make up their full body weight.
Bats Problems and Damage
Bats have the potential to cause damage to your home’s structure, siding, and indoor living space. They can create openings while attempting to enter a home. Moreover, bats are known to have connections with certain diseases and insects that can pose a significant threat to the well-being of you, your family, and your pets.
