Bats
Bats are an integral part of Alabama's ecosystem, contributing significantly to insect control and biodiversity. However, when they establish roosts within homes or businesses, they can pose health risks and cause structural damage. It's essential to approach bat removal with care, adhering to state regulations designed to protect these beneficial creatures.
Legal Protections for Bats in Alabama
In Alabama, all native bat species are protected by state regulations. Specifically, exclusion practices are restricted during certain periods to safeguard bats during critical life stages. According to the Alabama Bat Monitoring and Conservation Program, bat exclusions are only permitted between August 15 and April 15. This timeframe avoids the maternity season, ensuring that young bats are not separated from their mothers, which could lead to their death.
