With warmer weather approaching, what happens if I find a bat in my house?
Since bats can sometimes carry the rabies virus, anytime a bat is found in a living space, call the police non-emergency number (908-273-0051) and they will notify animal control. If possible, bats should be collected and tested for rabies. A common entry point for bats is through a chimney. Please remember to cap chimneys appropriately.
