Protect Your Property from Bat-Borne Risks with Expert Removal Services
Recent headlines have reignited concerns about bat-related health risks, and at United Bat Control, we’re here to help you stay ahead of the curve. Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel recently highlighted the growing traction behind the COVID-19 lab leak theory, while a new discovery in China—a bat coronavirus called HKU5-CoV-2—has experts on edge. Found to target the same human receptor as the virus behind COVID-19, this latest finding underscores why proactive bat management is more critical than ever, especially for residences, commercial properties, and hospitals.
A New Threat Emerges from Bats in Texas
Researchers, including Zheng-Li Shi of Guangzhou Laboratory—dubbed the “batwoman” for her work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology—identified HKU5-CoV-2 in pipistrellus bats. Published in Cell on February 18, 2025, their study reveals this virus’s alarming ability to infect human cells and tissues, raising the specter of zoonotic spillover—where bat viruses jump to humans. Dr. Siegel notes that bats are natural reservoirs for numerous coronaviruses, including strains like MERS and SARS-CoV-2. With HKU5-CoV-2 showing potential to bind to human ACE2 receptors, the risk is real, though currently low. But why take chances when it comes to your property and peace of mind?
Why Texas Bats Pose a Unique Challenge
Bats aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a potential health hazard. From your local school attics to hospital ventilation systems, their presence can expose you, your business, your family, or your patients to risks that go beyond droppings and noise.
