"Georgia Family Forced to Flee Home Due to Massive Bat Infestation"

A family in Savannah, Georgia, was plagued by a bat infestation in their rental home, leading to multiple encounters with the nocturnal animals and the need for rabies treatment. After a slow response from the property management company, the family fled to a hotel and started a GoFundMe campaign to cover medical bills and living expenses. They have since received overwhelming support and are working with an attorney to find a permanent home elsewhere.

"Bats Invade Michigan 'Castle' Airbnb, Prompting Lawsuit by Women"

A group of women attending their 50th high school reunion at an Airbnb in Alpena, Michigan, have filed a lawsuit claiming they were attacked by a "hoard" of bats. The women allege that on the third night of their stay, bats emerged from the attic of the home, biting some of them and causing others to be struck by flying bats. An exterminator later discovered a large colony of Michigan Brown Bats in the attic, with bat guano covering the floor and bat urine running down the basement walls. The lawsuit accuses Airbnb of negligence for allowing the bat-infested home to be advertised on its platform and claims that the homeowners and maintenance personnel failed to ensure the safety of the property.
