Bats Are Back and Here to Stay | Lincoln News

Bats are everywhere lately—especially after a rabies case in Cherry County sparked concern. But experts say it’s just a normal, busy season: June and July are peak birthing months, and bats are more active than usual. A veteran bat removal specialist confirms no spike or drop in numbers, highlighting how vital they are for mosquito control. Nebraska’s zoologist adds that while White Nose Syndrome has devastated bat populations nationwide, it hasn’t hit Nebraska as hard yet. Bats aren’t out to bother us—they’re just seeking shelter. And while you should always call professionals if you find them indoors, remember: most bats don’t carry rabies, and they’re more afraid of you than you are of them.
