| Identify Bat Damage Rabies Bats are not the main carrier of rabies; in fact, skunks and foxes are more likely to have rabies than bats. Here in the United States the incidence of rabies from bats is extremely rare. 
Even in South America, where vampire bats can be found, contracting rabies from a bat is rare because humans are not typically the target of these bats. The vampire bat extracts blood from cattle and other livestock, and may spread rabies and parasites to other animals when they bite and feed. Even though it is extremely rare for bats to carry rabies in the U.S., this does not mean it cannot happen. As a precaution, one should never try to pick up an injured bat or a bat that appears to be sick. Always contact a professional, such as the Fish and Game Commission or other wildlife organization. Inside the Home Most of the problems with bats in North America relates to where they find shelter. Bats often will find buildings, including homes, a great place to sleep and raise their young. Bats roost in attics as well as between walls, flooring spaces, and any other places that are quiet, dry, and accessible from the outside. Even though bats are not damaging to property the way that rodents and squirrels can be, bats will leave their droppings which is not very pleasant to the homeowner.
