Frequently Asked Questions
Are bats protected in Harpers Ferry?
Yes. Harpers Ferry is home to several ecologically vital bat species. Bat removal must be performed through live exclusion, and work is legally restricted during the maternity season (typically **June 1st – August 15th**) to protect flightless young.
What kind of damage do squirrels do to historic homes?
Squirrels can chew through slate roof eaves, decorative wooden trim, and electrical wiring. Once squirrels in the attic are established, they can destroy insulation and create significant fire hazards.
