Will County Animal Control takes pride in striving to keep our residents safe against Rabies!
 
If you encounter a bat-live or dead, in or around the living areas of your residence, call us immediately.  We will come and assist in removing the animal.  Once we remove it, we will have the bat sent to the state laboratory to be tested for Rabies.
 
Please follow the following instructions when dealing with a bat:
 
1.  Remove any people and animals from the area where the bat is.
2.  If possible, close off vicinity to prevent bat from relocating to other areas.
3.  Call Will County Animal Control at (815) 462-5633, or your local animal control IMMEDIATELY.
4.  Don't forget to look over yourself, your children and any pets that were exposed to the bat for any small punctures or bite marks.
5.  Don't forget to make certain that all of your pets are always currently vaccinated against Rabies!
