Just released this morning, white-nose syndrome has been detected in WI, showing further spread both west and north of current confirmed populations.

Another new state will be added to the list later today that hasn't been officially released yet. Will update this post later today.

WNS was also confirmed in Las Vegas. Oh, wait a minute, that was Wynn.

One of the counties in Michigan is in the heart
Of my service area. I hope they don't get too hard as it
Accounts for a good amount of my income!

I know as much about bats as I do about women, so you know that I have a problem. If you asked me, I would say that every job we have are big browns. My son, who actually does the work, says we have a bunch of small browns.

I guess if this WNS thing catches on in Wisconsin, we will find out who is right. ( And of course it will be me )

Yes Dave I would day about 70 percent are little browns.
But a lot over winter in houses here so I hope some will
Survive. Sometimes big and little browns are together
I wonder if the little browns that are in the caves that go to
Houses in the summer will spread it to the big browns.

Kasey,

Big brown numbers have actually increased in WNS impacted areas.

Little browns are hardest hit. Any bat though can pickup the fungus and move it from one location to another, as can people and other wildlife of course.

As this continues to spread it is more and more important to perform exclusion and mitigation work with conservation in mind.

Others in impacted areas have seen more calls. Which may be more people aware of bats or more of another species that is somehow thriving in absence of another.

Won't go down that road, but suffice to say this should be something we are watching for when we do see bats up close during an inspection or exclusion and report and inform if we see something off.

Wildlife disease surveillance is difficult enough without getting free calls from the public ad those working with the wildlife.

Stay informed let your state and fed folks know you are a resource.

Justin
