Polk County’s abundant landscapes and wildlife means it’s not uncommon for property owners to find out they have a bat problem. No infestation is easy to deal with, but bats can be extra tricky. That’s because bats are legally protected from being harmed or killed in the state of Florida, and during specific months of the year, bats can’t be removed at all due to mating season protections.
Additionally, bats often carry diseases that are transmitted through their guano and urine such as histoplasmosis. Untrained residents who attempt at-home removal and clean-up methods can further spread such airborne diseases. Due to their legal protections and the health risks they pose, Florida bat infestations must, therefore, be handled as soon as possible by licensed bat removal experts like those at Critter Control® of Polk County.
