Bats
The big brown bat is found in virtually every American habitat ranging from timberline meadows to lowland deserts, though it is most abundant in deciduous forest areas. It is often abundant in suburban areas of mixed agricultural use. This species ranges from extreme northern Canada, throughout the United States and south to the extreme southern tip of Mexico. Traditionally, these bats have formed maternity colonies beneath loose bark and in small cavities of pine, oak, beech, bald cypress and other trees. Common maternity roosts today can be found in attics, buildings, barns, bridges, and even bat houses. Small beetles are their most frequent prey, yet big brown bats will consume large quantities of a wide variety of night-flying insects. Bat rabies accounts for approximately one human death per year in the United States.
Rabies virus variances associated with six of the 45 bat species living in the continental United States have been transmitted to humans. These include the silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans), the Mexican free-tailed bat (Tadarida brasiliensis), and the big brown bat. Rabies is an infectious viral disease that invades the central nervous system of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Rabies is nearly always transmitted by a bite, though non-bite exposures can result from contact between infected saliva or nervous tissues and open wounds or the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, or mouth. Careless handling is the primary source of rabies exposure from bats. In other words, never attempt to catch or "shoo" a bat from your home. Leave this to the professionals. Histoplasmosis is another disease associated with their droppings (aka Guana). Fungus spores, contained in the droppings, become airborne and are inhaled or permeate the mucous menbranes of humans. Most often, a mild to severe flu like illness results. There are some cases that have resulted in death.
