Don’t forget – Bat Appreciation Month is all October long and Bat Appreciation Day is April 17th!

Bats are some of the world’s most misunderstood creatures, but they contribute greatly to our world and are an important part of our environment and our ecosystem.

If you have bats in or around your home, check out this information or contact a trained professional that specializes in removing them without harming or killing them.  Take time to learn more about them before making any decisions.  You may find you have a whole new appreciation for them and that your fear will be replaced by tolerance or love.  You may even invite them to stay!

You can get started by checking out the FAQs of Bat Conservation International here.  They also have education information and videos available.
