Bats are economically and ecologically beneficial, and are important parts of healthy ecosystems. However, bats are frequently found roosting in buildings, including schools, hospitals, houses, garages, and stadiums, where they can cause problems. Bats are protected in Florida, and it is unlawful to exclude bats during the maternity season (April 15-August 15), a time period when female bats form colonies and raise young bats that are not yet able to fly.
