What exactly is a bat ?
Bats are very much like human because they are mammals, that have hair and give birth to living young and nurture them on milk from mammary glands. There are more than 900 species of bats in the worldwide and they inhabit more in tropical regions.

First there are the 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. The reason for why most bats come close to a person's head is when they're 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 found in usually 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, that is why there's the typical idea of them only going out at night. Remember they echolocate.

There's really only two species of bats in NJ, the main one is the Brown Bat and the sub-species is The Red Bat. If you know of bats in your area just make sure that they don't nest in or on any habitable structures. Not your house, garage or sheds. There are "bat houses" that you can buy in Home Depot or your local pet store and can be installed ON your unattached garage. Keep bats away from the house. Well known facts about the Brown Bat and The Red Bat is that they are 100% insect eaters, and are definitely beneficial animals by eating more insects than any other animal every night. Brown bats are gentle and intelligent animals and usually have one pup per year. They are successful, helpful animals, usually very unobtrusive and most people don't realize it.

Possible Dangers
If you are afraid that bats are nesting in your home, most likely it will be largely visible to you when the population of them in you house gets heavy. The heavy population brings multi-disease danger from the large accumulation of their droppings. Bats, nesting somewhere in your house, will be largely invisible to you, until the population gets heavy. The danger is actually small, but no matter how small, it's never good for it 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 also 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 subject of rabies was well known in large animals like dogs, cats, raccoons and skunks it has been reduced because they are easier to spot. Bats, however, are invisible to most people and that makes it difficult to treat them in case of rabies.
