North Sarasota Bat Trapping and Removal [News Blog] Ultra Rare Bat Found

A critically endangered bat, found only once and unseen in its main territory for 22 years, has been captured in a former US army training area.

And, as is the nature of such things, after none being seen for more than two decades, researchers caught three in quick succession.

The bat is listed as critically endangered – and was feared extinct.

Preble caught the animals by using a high-tech acoustic lure that sends out synthesised bat calls. The whiskered bats responded to the sounds, allowing not only their capture but also, for the first time, an accurate recording of their echolocation signals.

After examining them and fitting each with a radio-tracker, all the bats were released into the wild. The achievement was reported by the university.

What does bat poop look like?

Guano is similar to mouse feces only larger. It is suggested that you inspect your attic windows for droppings that are evident. As well as being on the look out for any possible entry points ie openings where the creatures could be getting in and out. More than likely it will be up high, but if you have a good number of bats the guano will be fairly obvious.
