here is a nice article......regarding the rabies and bats and their diet. We had bats when we lived in Arroyo Grande, CA and they ate our mosquitos.....like with most noctural animals, if you see them during the day, then it is possible they have rabies. We lived in a very high rabies county, so that was a concern if finding one. as to whether if you don't have any around and the bat house, that i don't know.
