The Hoary Bat, also known as Lasiurus Cinereus, is one of the United States’ largest bats. The Hoary Bat( Lasiurus Cinereus ) has a very distinctive look. The fur of the bat is long, dense with white at the tips of the fur. It’s very rare for people to see the Hoary Bat unclose because this bat tries to stay hidden in foliage more so than in homes. However, you could find a Hoary Bat right in your backyard, especially if you leave near forest borders. As summer approaches and we all spend more time outdoors, even after dark, we have more of a chance of encountering hoary bats. Hoary bats can make flying trips up to 24 miles for the average round trip. If you frequently spot birds around your home, there’s a good chance hoary bats are not too far behind because the bats migrate groups like birds and the hoary bats follow the same traveling waves as birds. If you find Hoary bats on your property, the best solution is humane bat removal. The reason you should hire a professional Wildlife Control Technician in Anne Arundel County, Howard County Maryland, or Montgomery County Maryland is based on Hoary Bats being essential members of our ecosystem. The bats eat insects to help keep our population of insects under control. It’s important to have a professional wildlife control technician remove hoary bats from your property as soon as possible to protect your family from the following commensal/ parasitic species hoary bats carry:
- Mites
- Worms
- Protozoa
- ochoustica Taborensis
- Chiroptonysus Americanus
