Bats & Rabies: Taking Precautions at Home
Compiled by Jeremy Vandelac, Ancillary Manager
Three Rivers Hospital
Chelan and Grant counties have recently found bats infected with rabies, and Spokane County also found a rabid bat.
One of the bats in Grant County bit a person removing the cover off of a boat; it was the first known human case in Washington since 1997. Within the past 25 years, four domestic animals in Washington have been diagnosed with rabies, and by law, all cats, dogs, and ferrets are required to be vaccinated against rabies (WAC 246-100-197). So with that said, the rate is very low, with less than 1% of bats in the wild having rabies. Still, it is extremely important to never touch a bat. We’d like all of our hospital district residents and visitors to be aware of what to do if they encounter a bat. The below information has been compiled from Grant and Chelan-Douglas County Health District emails and informational materials.
What is considered a bat encounter?
What should I do if I have an encounter with a bat?
Keep bats out of your house! Bats must not be allowed into your home. It’s best to contact animal control or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance with “bat-proofing” your home. If you choose to “bat-proof” your house yourself, here are some suggestions:
More information on bat exposure, what to do if you find a bat in your home or cabin, what to do if you are bitten by a bat, and how to avoid exposure to rabies can be found at:
