Pest Advice for controlling Bats

The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 provides protection for all species of bat found in the United Kingdom.

Bats-1

It is illegal to kill, or even disturb, bats in their roosts.

If bats are present, and there is a possibility of them being disturbed, you should consult:

W: www.bats.org.uk

They will offer advice and if required arrange for a person to visit the site and advise on the best course of action.

Bats may only be handled by those licensed to do so.
