At The Bat Guys Bat Removal, we’re not just experts in safely and humanely removing bats from your premises; we’re also passionate about these fascinating creatures. Each state we serve boasts its unique array of bat species, each with its own quirks, habits, and habitats. Let’s take a night-time journey through the states and cities we service to discover the diverse bats that call them home.

Illinois

The Land of Lincoln features around 13 bat species. The Big Brown Bat and the Little Brown Bat are the most common, but the state is also home to the Indiana Bat, which is an endangered species.

Indiana

Beyond its namesake bat, the endangered Indiana Bat, the Hoosier State also hosts the Northern Long-Eared Bat, another threatened species. Their presence underlines the importance of conservation and responsible removal practices.

Iowa

Bats in Iowa are as varied as its landscape. From the Eastern Red Bat to the Hoary Bat, you can find nine different species flying under the Hawkeye State’s skies.

Kansas

Kansas is home to over a dozen bat species, including the curious Spotted Bat. With their large ears and distinctive markings, they’re a unique sight, if you’re lucky enough to spot one.

Kansas City

While it’s a city that straddles two states (Missouri and Kansas), Kansas City’s urban landscape still provides refuge for bats like the Evening Bat and the Tri-colored Bat.

Michigan

The Great Lakes State offers a haven for the Silver-haired Bat and the migratory Eastern Red Bat, among others. These species often roost in trees and shrubs, making Michigan’s diverse forests their ideal home.

Minnesota

From the Townsend’s Big-Eared Bat to the Little Brown Bat, Minnesota’s chilly climate doesn’t deter these hardy species. They often hibernate during the colder months in caves and mines.

Minneapolis

Within Minnesota’s bustling Twin Cities, bats like the Big Brown Bat often find refuge in attics, under bridges, and in city parks.

Missouri

Missouri, the “Show-Me State”, has plenty to show in terms of bat diversity. With the Cave Myotis and the Gray Bat, many of these species use Missouri’s abundant caves for roosting and hibernation.

Nebraska

The Cornhusker State hosts a mix of both tree-roosting and cave-roosting bats, including the Western Small-footed Bat and the Rafinesque’s Big-Eared Bat.

North Dakota

North Dakota’s sweeping prairies are the ideal hunting ground for the Northern Myotis and the Fringed Myotis, who can be seen dancing through the night skies in pursuit of insects.

Ohio

In Ohio, the Buckeye State, the endangered Indiana Bat shares its airspace with species like the Big Brown Bat and the Small-footed Myotis.

South Dakota

The Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota provide roosting spots for the Western Long-Eared Myotis and the Townsend’s Big-Eared Bat.

Wisconsin

The Dairy State is not just about cheese; it’s also about bats. The state’s wetlands, forests, and lakes create a paradise for the Northern Long-Eared Bat and the Eastern Pipistrelle.
