Some Emails we get from this page concerning bat infestations.

My name is Rhonda and I'm renting a home in washington dc that has been infested with bats. I moved in last October and didn't discover the problem until Spring. I got extremely sick and the doctors didn't know what was going on. I was treated for bacterial pnamonia. This was in February before I new there was an infestation.

I'm in a situation where the owners of the home have hired a company to come clean the guano. The question I have is should I be in the home during this process? The company plans to do a section at a time. This will disturb the feces and cause it to go airborne correct? And if that's the case should we be running hepa machines for a couple days? I'm also concerned about my furniture and what kind of cleaning needs to be done in the home after.

I spoke with someone months back with fish and wildlife. The gentleman said if you can smell the guano that means it's been building up for several years. I've had the room I use to stay in closed off since that's where the main infestation is. They are housing in the walls.

I would be very grateful if you could give me some advice as a renter how I should be dealing with this issue. Also most important the health concerns I should be concerned about.
