- SpidersTheir diet mostly consists of flying insects, particularly mosquitoes, flies, moths, and spiders. These bats also often forage near the water.
- TermitesNick started out in the pest control industry, selling termite treatments. He was instrumental in redesigning the way termite treatments are conducted with one of the nation’s largest pest control companies. His genuine honesty and down to earth personality helped him to become the number one salesperson at each company in which he worked over the years.
- Bed BugsAnother big problem of having bats in your house is bat bugs. These are tiny bugs very similar to bed bugs. They live on the blood of bats. But, if bats are living in your home, these bugs can spread to the living spaces and begin biting people. If the population gets out of control, the need for bug control can be necessary.
- FleasParasites such as fleas and ticks, which also carry diseases such as Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
- BeesIn our ever-recovering economy, Jefferson is seen as a city where people can find new opportunities and raise their families without trepidation. Despite this, Jefferson residents are wary of one thing: invading wildlife. While most species do wonderful things for the environment around them, some cause hardships for Jefferson property owners. At Georgia Pest and Wildlife Services (P.A.W.S.), we see all kinds of animals causing problems every day. Jefferson residents often face infestations of species like raccoons, bats, or spiders. Some residents deal with surpluses of otherwise beneficial insects, such as bees and beetles, as well.
- TicksLong after animals are gone, danger still exists in the form of what they leave behind: fur, feces, urine, fleas and ticks, and other “evidence.” The P.A.W.S. team always performs detailed cleanups after they finish their work, and we will ensure your air and water are palatable again. Never try to dispose of any animal evidence yourself; it can expose you to bacteria and viruses or stir up allergens and mold.
- MosquitoesBats eat many insects, particularly mosquitoes. The average bat consumes between 600 to 1000 insects an hour! Because of this, bats are protected species. Killing a bat can cost you a hefty fine.
- FliesWhen squirrels get into homes, their urine, droppings, shed fur, and parasites can cause serious health risks. Additionally, the odor that occurs when squirrels die in wall and ceiling voids, soffits, and other inaccessible areas can be unbearable. And their corpses become the perfect breeding place for flies and diseases.
- BeetlesBrazilian free-tailed bats are also insectivores, meaning that they mainly feast on insects — particularly moths and beetles. They mostly live in caves, tree hollows, and mine tunnels but are also dubbed as “house bats.”
- MothsThe diet of these bats are also similar to their smaller cousins. Big brown bats also mainly feed on flying insects like flies, moths, and beetles.
- MitesRickettsial (Spotted & Typhus Fevers) is transmitted by house-mouse mites, circulates in urban centers in Ukraine, South Africa, Korea, Balkan states, and the United States. Outbreaks of rickettsialpox most often occur after contact with infected rodents and their mites, especially during natural die-offs or extermination of infected rodents that causes the mites to seek out new hosts, including humans. The agent may spill over and occasionally be found in other wild rodent populations.

- RaccoonsRaccoons are dangerous to live with because they are the greatest source of rabies infection in North America and the most frequent cause of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) administrations on the continent.
- SnakesAs for predators, owls may prey upon big brown bats in flight. Meanwhile, pups still in their nests or who have fallen down face dangers from snakes, racoons, and cats. The white-nose syndrome, wildlife disruption, and wide-spread pesticide use also pose threats to the big brown bat population.

- WeaselsDue to its small stature, the little brown bats face many predators. These include weasels, rats, snakes, and domestic cats. However, the greatest threat to their population isn’t a predator but a disease.
