Delaware – bat in attic

May 1, 2023

A bat was spotted roosting in a homeowner’s attic in Smyrna, DE. The homeowner wanted the bat removed as his wife is afraid of bats. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild. We also provided humane exclusion guidelines in case there are more bats roosting in the attic.
