Bats and Bat Management Webinar
April 4, 2013

Presenter:
Scott Hygnstrom, Professor and Extension Wildlife
Specialist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Certified Wildlife Biologist and Leader of the eXtension CoP
for Wildlife Damage Management
Bats are unique creatures in the animal kingdom. They are
mammals that can truly fly and many use sonar to echolocate insect prey.
Bats are very beneficial in the environment, but they can
cause problems when they occupy our homes, schools, and other structures. Most
problems are associated with the guano they leave behind and potential for
transmitting diseases to humans, especially rabies and histoplasmosis. We will
discuss how to recognize signs of bats and how to conduct a bat watch.
Exclusion is the key to managing bat problems, so we will cover how to keep
bats out and how to evict them if they get in.
The webinar will be recorded for viewing later if this time
is inconvenient.
