A great piece of advice! Feel free to call if you suspect you may have bats entering your home or would just like a more thorough evaluation of your home!

Check your home for small openings that could let a bat in. Attics, chimneys, and holes as small as 1/4 inch wide can be entryways for bats. If a bat does get in your home, follow these steps in the link to keep yourself safe from rabies exposure: https://buff.ly/D6wigbB

Seems to be a rising issue in the area.

The raccoon was on the property of Camp Lima during the German Festival on Sunday, June 14, 2026. One person was potentially exposed to rabies virus by this raccoon and will receive treatment to prevent infection. The raccoon was believed to be a nursing mother.

Rabies is a deadly virus that attacks the central nervous system in mammals. In Livingston County it is most often found in raccoons, skunks, and bats. All mammals, including unvaccinated dogs, cats, and farm animals are at risk for getting rabies. There is no way to tell if an animal is rabid just by looking at it. Wild or feral animals should always be avoided.

Signs of rabies in wildlife can include:
* inability to walk
* appearance of “drunkenness”
* unwillingness to drink water or eat
* drooling
* aggressive behavior
* any significant change in temperament

Spring will be here before you know it and bats will become more active as well as getting ready to have their young. Call for an evaluation or if you suspect an issue already.
