Bats

Bats have gotten a bad rap. Although they’re sometimes referred to as flying rats, they actually serve an
important purpose in the ecosystem. Bats consume about 1,200 mosquito-sized insects an hour, and
some species of bats disperse seeds, pollinate plants, and feed on beetles that destroy crops.

If a bat problem has developed in your home, it’s best to call in the professionals at Pest Authority of

lights on isn’t going to do much. Bats are so small that they can just dig deeper into your home if they
feel afraid. The experts at Pest Authority of Hartford are here to help get your home bat-free.
