If you91裸聊视频檝e been seeing more bats around, don91裸聊视频檛 worry, you91裸聊视频檙e not alone.

The Okanagan division of the BC Community Bat Program is advising the public that more of the mammals are now taking flight in the region, some for the first time.

Many are young pups spreading their wings, who may be found resting on the ground, flying into homes, or roosting in other unusual places.

The group explained that if a bat is found, alive or dead, never touch it with bare hands. Bats in B.C. can carry rabies and potentially spread it. If a person or pet might have come into direct contact, such as a bite or scratch, they are advised to contact Public Health, Health Link 811, a doctor or a veterinarian.

Some bat species make their homes inside human structures and can be found under roofs or siding, or in attics and barns.

Under the BC Wildlife Act, it is illegal to exterminate or harm bats.
