If you see a bat, give it space!🦇

Bats can sometimes carry rabies, a disease that can make people and animals very sick.

🚫STAY AWAY from bats. Never pick up or touch a bat — even if it looks hurt or isn't moving.

If you find a bat in your house, don't touch it with your bare hands.
➡️Always avoid direct contact and wear leather gloves if you have to handle the bat.
➡️To capture the bat, contain it to a room or trap it in a box/blanket.
➡️For help removing it, contact local animal control.

Once the bat is captured, call your local health department. They'll evaluate the exposure and determine next steps for testing.

Where can you get more information?
➡️Immediate help removing a bat: Local animal control
➡️Help determining if exposure occurred or information on rabies prophylaxis: Local health department
➡️Information on bat exclusion: IDPH Division of Environmental Health at 217-782-5830
