25 years later, we remember the lives lost and the families, friends, first responders, and communities forever changed by the events of September 11.
Today, we honor the courage and sacrifice of those who responded, remember those we lost, and reflect on the strength and unity that followed.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🦇 We’ve had bats brought to us in some pretty creative ways recently! If you need to bring a bat to us for testing, please call us first at 740-368-1700 and bring the bat in a clear, secure container — like the one shown in the photo.
🦇 We’re also seeing an increase in calls about bats getting into homes. Now is a good time to check your home for ways bats may be getting inside. Look for:
🔎 Holes or gaps around your home
🔎 Missing or damaged shingles
🔎 Gaps around chimneys, vents, windows and doors
🔎 Other openings where a bat could enter
🏠 Make repairs and seal openings to help keep bats out of your home.
🐶🐱 Keep pets current on their rabies vaccinations.
