Do bats in the attic cause damage?

• <div><p>Yes, bats can cause quite a bit of damage to the attic. Their weight and movement from flying around can damage insulation, and they can chew through wiring and the walls. As if this isn’t enough, they leave their droppings throughout, which carry harmful bacteria and is dangerous for humans to breathe in, not to mention the extremely foul-smelling odor.</p></div>

Should I worry about bats in my yard?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t have to worry about bats in your yard as long as they don’t make their way inside your house. Typically, bats hang around backyards in order to consume bugs, especially if they’re located in the U.S. Bats that are native to North America can consume more than 500 bugs per hour, so they may actually benefit your yard if mosquitoes are prevalent. </p></div>

"We live on a farm &amp;amp; the lower field was flooding after it came a hard rain. Finally, upon checking the matter, we found the beavers had built a dam had the creek blocked. David came set out traps. He got rid of nine of them the first day, then three the next. If there were any still living, , they left, that was the end of our beaver problem! I would definitely recommend them again."
