Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are many species in Charleston and all of them are beneficial insect eaters, consuming literally tons of harmful insects each night. The most common species to move into houses is the Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus). These small animals are about 3-1/2 inches long with an 8 inch wingspread. Their colors range from yellow-brown to dark brown.

Little Brown Bats roost in groups and are drawn to hot attics and wall voids in the spring and summer to bear their young (one per female) from about June-August. In the fall, most of these bats fly to winter hibernation roosts in caves or old mine shafts.

Health Hazards

Bats in Charleston should not be regarded as dangerous. However, about one bat in a thousand MAY have rabies which eventually kills them. Little Brown Bats cannot easily transmit this disease to humans or pets due to their small teeth but problems can arise from trying to touch or pick up a sick bat. Unprovoked attacks are extremely rare.

If bitten by a bat or if infectious material (such as saliva) from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound — wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical advice immediately. If a bat is found in a room with a sleeping person, capture it without damaging the head and place it in a container . Dead bats should be kept under refrigeration until tested. Contact your local Health District as soon as possible. To avoid this disease, simply avoid touching bats, be sure your house is bat-proof (at least the living area) and be sure your pets are vaccinated. Call your veterinarian for vaccination information.
