Bats play a vital role in our environment by eating many nuisance pests such as mosquitoes. Bats are often misunderstood because we associate them with the scary movies we watched as kids. For the lowdown on bats, check out these resources:

If you find a bat on the ground (dead or alive), do not pick it up or allow your animals to come in contact with it. There are many reasons why a bat may be sick or dead. Rabies is just one of many possibilities. Contact the Oldham County Health Department (222‐3516) if you find a sick or dead bat on your property.
