Question

Does bats Suck human blood, ?and is it supposed to be normal for us if they enter our house?

Answer 1

Most bats in the U.S. eat insects.

They generally avoid people.

Only a very few in the south-west are 'vampires'.

They will look for places to roost at night and might try

your attic.

They are not clean neighbors and you should try to keep them out.

Most have fleas.

Some have been known to carry rabies.

Answer 2

No bats in North America suck blood.  And their damned souls aren't supposed to be able to enter your house unless you invite them in.

OK, seriously.  It's not that normal for them to enter a house, but not that unusual.  When it happens by mistake, remember; the bat doesn't want to be there, either.  Try to leave a way for it to exit.

And good luck.  I can give a rational answer, but they freak me out.

Oh, if you try to catch them, they will bite.  Not the same as sucking your blood.  And they won't come after you to bite you.  The big problem is, Bats may carry rabies.  If you get bit, capture/kill that bat.  You MUST  see a doctor if you got bit, with or without the bat.

Answer 3

no,  bats hit baseballs...

seriously though, vampire bats do exist in the US. they usually prey on cattle and the like. biting and then l*****g at the blood. it is rare that humans interact with them. most bats only eat insects and are wanted in areas where there are many mosquitos.

it is not rare to find bats in one's attick or in barns. I've heard of a few cases where a bat may wind up in the living room, causing the resident to distroy their own home in the attempt to swat the bat with some blunt object.

...just don't eat it.

Answer 4

The house thing, I'm not sure...

The blood...

They don't suck blood, they cut the skin and lap up the blood... they usually don't go after humans, they go after animals... a small cut, and they drink the blood... and it's only Vampire Bats that do, other bats eat insects... or fruit...
