WILDLIFE OR PESTS? – THE NEED FOR AWARENESS
A few months ago, based on feedback from a concerned resident, ACRES ACIU (Animal Crime Investigation Unit) investigated a video sent to us. It showed bats trapped in a netting used by a pest control operator, resulting in entanglement of the bats, who were subsequently contained in a plastic bag.

UP, UP AND AWAY!
These two photographs were taken by callers to our wildlife rescue hotline. The callers had very kindly helped the bats take flight once again so they may go about their business. Often, these insectivorous bats may fall or land on the floor, and are unable to take off on their own. They need a suitable height for lift-off.
Concerned members of public may call us, thinking the bat is injured or that the little one is a lost baby bat. There are a few native insectivorous bat s...
