What exactly is a bat ?
Bats have certain similarities to humans. They are mammals, have hair, give birth to living young and nurture them on milk from mammary glands. There are more than 900 species of bats worldwide and they more often inhabit tropical regions.

Myths and misconceptions about bats in general...

Myth 1: "All bats have rabies"
During the past forty years fewer than forty people in the US are known to have contracted rabies from bats. Most importantly, less than 1/2 of 1 percent of bats actually carry the rabies virus.

Myth 2: "Bats get tangled in a person's hair"
A bats echolocate (high-pitched sounds are emitted and their echoes are used to determine the direction and distance of objects) allows them to see better. Bats sometimes come close to a person's head when they are trying to catch insects.

Myth 3: "Bats suck your blood"
There are vampire bats and they feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals such as birds, horses and cattle. They are usually found in year-round warm regions like Mexico, Central America and South America. A bat only sucks about two tablespoons of blood every day because that's all it needs, so the loss of blood to a prey animal is small and rarely causes any harm.

Myth 4: "Bats are blind"
Bats can't see in color, but they have the advantage of seeing better at night, which is why there is the notion that they only go out at night.

There are really only two species of bats in New Jersey. The main one is the Brown Bat and the sub-species is The Red Bat. If you know of bats in your area be sure that they don't nest in or on any habitable structures, such as your house, garage or shed. There are "bat houses" that you can buy in Home Depot or your local pet store that can be installed ON your unattached garage. Keep bats away from the house. It is a well-known fact that Brown and Red Bats are beneficial animals who eat more harmful insects than any other animal. Brown bats are gentle and intelligent animals and usually have one pup per year. Most people don't realize that bats are successful, helpful animals, and usually very unobtrusive.

Possible Dangers
If you are afraid that bats are nesting in your home, most likely it will become visible to you when the population of them in your house increases. The heavy population brings multi-disease danger from the large accumulation of their droppings. The danger is actually small, but no matter how small, it's never good for them to be in your home.

Obviously, if you are bitten by any animal, you should always seek medical assistance immediately. Also, if the animal is available, it should be held for tests. The symptoms of rabies increase faster if the bite is closer to the head. Rabies first affects the brain and the spinal cord and eventually causes death in any animal. Since the growth of awareness of rabies in large animals like dogs, cats, raccoons and skunks, there have been fewer cases because they are easier to spot. Bats, however, are difficult to see which makes it difficult to treat in cases of rabies.
