Bats
A couple of the species of bat found in the UK can sometimes roost in
loft spaces. They don't chew or cause any serious damage but their very sticky
urine can obviously be messy.
Bats are amongst the most highly protected
of Britain's wildlife and it is illegal to disturb them or their roosts, block
access to their roost, injure or kill them or set any traps to capture
them. It is illegal to handle them unless to seek treatment for an injury or
illness.
If you have bats in your loft you should call English Nature or
