Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this, what works, what
doesn't work, etc. etc.

Thanks.

Bats did me a good favor. When I bought my house there were bats in
the attic and I wouldnt close on the house until they were gone or
they gave me the money to get rid of them. I got 2K off the house and
it took maybe a couple of hours to get rid of them and clean up the
mess. I have a couple of bat houses in the backyard for them now.
