Bat FAQ's

Bats don’t technically hibernate, but they do something that’s very similar. They go into a biological state known as torpor where their heart rate slows dramatically and they’re not moving around looking for food. This happens during cold weather and their goal is to decrease their output of energy so they can survive through the long winter. After all, in the winter, there’s no food for the bats so any fat reserves they have has to tide them over until they can eat again the next season. Bats can go into the torpor stage in a variety of areas such as caves where they’ll congregate by the hundred of thousands. Unfortunately, they will also sometimes choose to do it in our homes, often in the attic. If you suspect this is happening in your home, call the professionals at Abra Kadabra for help.
