Default Bats in eaves

Just beware that bats carry RABIES and they will fight if they have to.
I have "smoked" them out of areas and sealed up the entrance where they
got in. When bats get flying around a room after a wall is opened up,
they look bigger than Rodan when they come at you. I had 2 laborers
(230+ pounds heavily tatooed with criminal records) working for me in
the mid 80's and there was a family of bats living in a wall that we
just opened up. The guys did not believe me when I told them that they
were live bats sleeping, so..... I goosed the bats with a piece of lath
and there were 7 of these critters flying around the room and the 2
guys were so afraid to go back into the house they quit that afternoon.
Hire a professional to evict these bats, if you don't feel comfortable
doing it youself.

I have bats living in the eaves of my home during the summer months. I
want to get rid of them, and want to know if they stay there in the winter,
or hibernate to caves. I am interested in blocking off their
enterance/exit, and I dont want to kill them. I live in a residential area
of northeast Pennsylvania, and I do not know what kind of bats they are.

Thanks,

Joe



Not sure if old stockings will work but have heard they will, but take
flimsy screening or heavy netting and make a 3 foot tube with the
material. Secure it at the opening and let the rest hang down. They
should be able to find their way down the tube but won't get back in.
