Well for 🦇 sake! Love this and they eat the mosquitos.
Friendly Reminder: If you find a bat inside your house or business this winter—do not release it outside!
In Nebraska, bats that end up in homes during the winter are often hibernating species that have mistakenly woken up. Releasing them outside in cold temperatures can be fatal, as they cannot survive freezing weather. Even on a warm and sunny day, that bat will be unable to find food as there won't be insects out for them to eat in the winter.
Instead, if you find a bat indoors, do not handle it with bare hands. Keep it in a secure, ventilated container and call our hotline for wildlife assistance at (402) 234-2473. We will ensure the bat’s safety and proper care until it can be released in appropriate conditions.
