Bat's In My Siding

Question:
I have seen a bat come out of my siding. What should I do?
Are they dangerous and can they bite?

Answer:
Put up a bat box somewhere in your yard with the front facing south. The bat will need to become familiar with it.
If the bat is not actually inside your house, there is little to fear. They do not make a nest in people's hair, in fact, they don't make nests anywhere, they roost by clinging upside down to a roughened surface such as wooden siding etc.
They are beneficial and can consume around one thousand mosquitoes per hour. They are not dangerous, I would rather have 50 bats in my yard than 50 wasps.

Yes they can bite, so if they come into your house and you hav e to catch it to take it out you should wear leather gloves.

Please be gentle with them. I am sure they are more frightened than you are.
After your bat box has been in place for a week or so get the bat's existing home blocked with an exclusion device that stops it getting back in once it has left the opening.
Hope that it then sets up home in the bat box.
You are not allowed to kill it.
