There are several different species of bats in Missouri but most problems we encounter are with Big Brown Bats and Little Brown Bats. These little guys are unique and beneficial critters but when they start using our homes as their cave or entering our living space, they can pose a health risk to family and pets. Due to health risks and damage caused by bats living in our homes they present a unique problem because bats are beneficial to our environment and protected by law.
