The NC Wildlife Resources Commission bat species profile documents the...

A sleeping person may not know they were scratched or bit...

The maternity season is when female bats give birth and raise flightless pups in the roost.

Excluding adult bats during the maternity window traps pups inside the s...

Bats are nocturnal. They leave the roost at dusk to feed on insects and return before dawn. This predictable exit pattern is exactly why one-way door exclusion works for Raleigh bat removal - the bat leaves at night through the device and cannot re-enter when it returns. In this episode we explain the nightly cycle, how technicians use it to confirm colony size, and why a dusk watch from outside t...

The NC State Extension guidanc...
