Saline family discover bat colony inside their dream home

It's no secret that bats play an essential role in the ecosystem. The mammals help with pest control, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds while saving farmers hundreds of millions of dollars. But they can also become a nuisance if they dwell in people’s homes, especially during the roosting season. A family in Saline got a taste of that. Not only were they forced out of their home, but their suffering led to a policy change when it comes to bat removal guidelines.
