    Extractions: Bats are the only flying mammals. They give birth to live young and nourish them with milk. Bats are nocturnal; they are most active at night and sleep during the day hanging upside-down. Bats are found in all types of habitats all around the world except at the poles. There are over 900 different species of bats. During the cold winter, some bats migrate to a warmer area. Some bats (like the brown bat) hibernate during the cold of winter, sleeping very deeply until warm weather arrives. Anatomy : Bat's wings are long fingers covered by thin skin. They have furry bodies. Some bats have short tails, other have no tail. Bats have weak legs and don't walk very well. The smallest bat is the bumblebee bat (with a wingspan of 6 inches=15 cm, weighing less than a penny); the biggest bat is the flying fox bat (with a wingspan of 6 feet=1.8 m, weighing 2 pounds=1 kg).

Animals / Bats Bats are the only flying mammal in the world, and bats are very beneficial in that they can eat over 500 flying insects per hour all night long. contact a Critter Control professional in your area if you have bats within your home, as the proper precautions should be taken when removing bats. Bats will get stuck inside homes and other buildings during the end of summer and beginning of fall. As bats are so small, they can squeeze through tiny holes (only 3/8 inch wide!), typically entering through vents, end construction gaps, overhangs or eaves. Bats will also enter a home through open windows and chimneys. Once inside, bats will continue living within a building for years, until bat control and removal is implemented. If there are multiple bats within a building, this indicates a colony. Typical bat damage is urine stains and the collection of droppings. Most commonly, people complain about the noise: the scratching and crawling in attics and within walls, and their squeaking habits. Bat Control Solutions: Bat Exclusion The most effective method for getting rid of bats and keeping them out of the home is through exclusion. Sometimes, all that is necessary is to open a door or window to let the bats fly out. When bats are entering through small openings in the structure of a building, it may be necessary for a professional to seal off these holes in order to prevent the re-entry of bats.

    Extractions: Learn More About Bats Bats often make people think of vampires, creatures of the night, and Halloween. Beyond the myth and folklore, bats are one of the most important groups of animals. Bats are one of the most numerous kinds of mammals with nearly 1000 different species. They are highly adapted animals, and can be found in all but the coldest habitats. Bats are mammals that belong to the order Chiroptera (ky-rop-tera), which means, "winged hand". The wings or hands of a bat have very long finger bones covered by a strong skin. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Like all mammals, they are "warm-blooded", have bodies covered with fur, and nurse their young (pups) with milk. There are two main groups of bats - the large "flying foxes" that eat fruit, and the smaller insect-eating bats. There are also bats that feed on the nectar of flowers, and those that eat small animals, like fish and frogs. Nearly all bats are helpful animals. In fact, tropical rainforests could not survive without bats. Bats are responsible for controlling pest insect populations, pollinating flowers, and dispersing seeds. One insect-eating bat can catch 500-1000 insects in one hour! Many plants must be pollinated by bats to produce fruit (see side bar). The only way some plants have of dispersing seeds is through bats.

Bats are shy creatures and want to avoid you as much as you might want to avoid them. Did you know? Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Bats are NOT flying mice. Bats belong to a separate order of mammals called Chiroptera. Bats come in all different colors, shapes and varieties. Some are red, have huge ears, or have very unusual faces. Many of these attributes are related to their navigational system. One quarter of all mammal species are bats. Worldwide there are almost a thousand species of bats! In the US alone there are 39 species of bats. In some parts of the world, bats take the place of bees in pollinating plants. Little brown bats have life spans that may exceed 32 years.

Little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus Conservation and Public Education Despite their ecological value, bats are relentlessly and unjustifiably persecuted. Bats are often killed because they live near people who needlessly fear them. These actions emphasize the need to educate the public on the reasons for bat conservation and why it is important to use safe, nondestructive methods to alleviate conflicts between people and bats. General sources of information on bats include states’ Cooperative Extension Services, universities, government environmental conservation and health departments, and Bat Conservation International (Austin, Texas). Except where control is necessary, bats should be appreciated from a distance — and not disturbed. Bats, the only mammals that truly fly, belong to the order Chiroptera. Their ability to fly, their secretiveness, and their nocturnal habits have contributed to bat folklore, superstition, and fear. They are worldwide in distribution and include about 900 species, second in number only to Rodentia (the rodents) among the mammals.

Nearly 1000 species account for almost a quarter of the world’s mammal fauna—about 1 out of every 4 mammals on our planet is a bat! Global bat diversity is due in large part to the length of time bats have been on Earth. Paleontological study indicates that bats flew through the night skies over 50 million years ago. Fossil bats are very similar to those that exist today, giving few clues about their early ancestors. Fully evolved bats lived at a time when the predecessors of the horse were small, 3-toed, fox-like animals trotting around in the Eocene swamps. The bat order is divided into 18 different families with all members of each family sharing similar evolutionary paths, physical features, adaptations, and sometimes even foraging strategies. Some families are large, containing hundreds of species that can be found worldwide; other families are small, with some made up of a single species that is not closely related to any other species. This small family of bats, with 2 genera and 8 species worldwide, is restricted to warm tropical regions of the New World (North, Central, and South America). These bats typically roost in hot, humid caves, forming colonies in the hundreds to thousands of individuals. Bats in this family have flaps and folds of flesh around their mouths, often set off by large, obvious hairs or whiskers, character-istics that give them their common family name. It is suspected that these oral structures help to focus their echolocation calls or perhaps to funnel insects into their mouths. In addition, some family members have wing membranes covering the dorsal surfaces of their fur and meeting at midline along their backs, perhaps increasing the surface area of the wing membranes and thus helping the bats to dissipate heat. Bats in this family have long, narrow wings and are fast flyers, typically hawking (swooping hawk-like to catch) insects near pond surfaces.

She proposed that in addition to evicting the bats (not extermination!) that the hospital maintenance staff construct a bat house adjacent to the building. Here are the details of this recent project . The Governor's office is following this project with great interest, and may consult with Donna regarding a similar problem at the Governor's Mansion in Olympia. Got a question about bats?

    Extractions: BATS Back to "The Wonderful World of Bats" JoAnn vonLubken and Linda Drew May Street School Hood River Co. School District OVERVIEW OF BAT INFORMATION: WHAT ARE BATS? Bats are members of a class of animals called mammals. They have hair and mother bats feed their pups with milk produced in their mammary glands. Bats differ from all other mammals in one most interesting way; they have wings and can fly. The scientific name, Chiroptera, means hand-wing. HOW DO BATS FLY? Bats fly by flapping their wings. The wings are moved by strong muscles in the back, chest, and shoulders. During the wing stroke, the part of the wing between the body and the fifth finger pushes downward against the air, providing lift. Lift is the force that keeps the bat aloft. The part of the wing between the second and the fifth fingers pushes backward against the air, providing thrust. Thrust is what keeps the bat moving forward. HOW MANY SPECIES OF BATS ARE THERE? There are roughly 850 species of bats. The order Chiroptera has two suborders, megabats and microbats. The majority of megabats belong to a group known as flying foxes. Their faces resemble the faces of foxes or dogs, with large eyes, simple ears, and simple noses. Microbats have small eyes, large ears, and complexly shaped noses.

    Extractions: Horseshoe-bat Suborder Microchiroptera Of the two suborders of bats, these are the bats most people around the world are more familiar with, as they are found practically everywhere. They are a much more diverse group than the 'Megabats'. There are 17 families, 135 genera and over 759 species (Robson 2002). T here are microchiropterans that have evolved to feed on insects, fish, fruit, nectar, blood and even other bats. M ost live in colonies in dark places where they roost upside down. They tend to be much smaller (sometimes tiny), have tails (with the flying membrane stretching between the legs and tail), use echolocation, are broadly insectivorous and have only one claw on the forelimbs (Robson 2002). The saying 'blind as a bat' is a reflection of the fact that many species have small eyes and that they tend to rely on another sense to make their way around. This other sense involves emitting high frequency calls from the throat, and projecting out the mouth or nose to detect the 'ultrasounds' as they reflect off other objects (echolocation).
