Bats in Your Home This Summer | Albany News

While rabies fears are overblown (most bats don’t carry it), their droppings and urine pose real health risks if attics aren’t cleaned. If you spot one, don’t touch—keep your distance and seek professional help. And remember: these tiny insect-eaters are nature’s pest control, vital to our ecosystem.
