Do bats eat when they hibernate? Hibernate or Migrate. Bats use a lot of energy flying around and must consume a lot of food, such as insects, to fuel their daily activities. When cold weather drives insects away, bats must choose to hunker down and hibernate or migrate to warmer areas with more abundant food supply. National Park Service
There are a wide variety of bat species in the US, though it’s usually the colonizing bat types that cause problems in buildings and require bat removal services.
Less than one percent of the bat population contracts rabies, which is a much lower rate of incidence than other mammals. Still, you should not handle or disturb bats, especially those that are active and appear sick during daylight hours. All bat bites should be washed immediately with soap and water, and a physician should be consulted.

How We Remove Bats in the Attic
- We first determine the Species of Bat.
- Then we make Sure There Are No Baby Bats!
- We inspect the home to find the entry point They Are Getting In from.
- We safely Remove the ENTIRE Colony with Bat Exclusion Devices.
- We seal up 100% of the Openings after we get rid of the bats.
- If needed we clean Up the Guano Droppings.
Where do bats go after exclusion? Exclusion devices should be placed at all entry points and should remain in place for a minimum of seven days. These devices should be removed after all bats have been excluded, and exclusion points should then be sealed. Bat Con
