Bats are beneficial due to their insect-eating habits, but a quick encounter with them can bring lethal consequences. Immunizations that help prevent rabies are recommended for anyone in an area with high insect activity. Due to the painless nature of bat bites, those who have been near these pests are advised to receive cautionary treatment from a physician. Keep in mind that symptoms typically associated with rabies, such as mouth foaming, aggressiveness, and hydrophobia, are rarely present in humans, so any bite should be treated as a potential threat. When bats are observed in the home, attic, or garage, leave the removal risks to the experts at Trutech.
