Keeping Up With Bats
Bats are the little pest control allies responsible for eating many mosquitoes every year
The two species that can be found in the Chicagoland Area are Eptesicus Fuscus, AKA Big Brown Bat and Myotis Lucifugus, AKA Little Brown Bat
Bats hibernate during the winter
but become active as soon as the temperature rises and mosquitoes start swarming again.
Preservation & Control
Preservation
Bats’ numbers are decreasing due to the white-nose syndrome, a fungus that makes them become active and burn up the fat they need to survive during the winter when they should be hibernating.
Control
Bats are protected during mating season. It’s illegal to trap them and their permanent eviction can only be performed during a brief window of time by professionals
