how do you get rid of bats in your home?

Answer 1

If he is still in there and flying around........wait until it gets dark then turn off all lights except 1 right by a door.....get him to fly and he should fly right out......I know bats are blind but it worked for us. Make sure no one is screaming or shouting cuz that will attract him. Once they are out of your house check your attic etc.........put those moth ball smelling toilot hanger things in the places where they might be........it will also keep bees and wasps out.....they are really cheap like 50cents each.......they really do work

Answer 2

If you have just one or two,then when they are fling about at night,put all your lights on. The bats will fall to the ground. Do not attempt to pick them up unless you have heavy duty gloves on as bats have a tendancy to bite if handled. (think rabies). The most effective and environmentally sound method of preventing bats from roosting in houses is to close off the openings that are used for entry and exit. This can be accomplished by determining where they depart at dusk and then sealing the openings with metal, wood, or plastic foam insulation. This procedure should not be attempted during the maternity period in June and July, otherwise young bats will be trapped in the building. In late summer and autumn openings that were identified during summer at the peak of bat activity can be sealed after bats have left for the night. Because big brown bats often hibernate in buildings, it is not advisable to seal the openings during the winter. The use of toxic chemicals as repellents is not recommended, because these can have adverse effects on the homeowner, and they are less effective than physical exclusion.

After you have located places that bats are using as exit and entry holes, and all the bats have departed to feed at night, the opening should be sealed so that the bats cannot reenter. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure several times until all openings have been closed. The best time to seal the openings is in the early spring or in autumn. One should avoid sealing openings from late May to mid-July since young bats too young to fly may be trapped inside.
Chemical repellents (e.g. moth balls, sulfur candles, ammonia) are generally ineffective for excluding bats from buildings. Bats may be temporarily evicted by using these repellents but they are likely to return after the chemical has dissipated. Commercially available devices that produce sounds at ultrasonic frequencies (sonar type) are not effective in discouraging bats from roosting in buildings. Use of incandescent or fluorescent lights in roosting areas may reduce the number of bats present under some circumstances. The safest and soundest approach for eliminating bats from buildings is to close the openings that bats are using for exit and entry. However, this may be difficult to accomplish if the building is old and has numerous holes and crevices that bats can use.
If one or two bats accidentally get into the living quarters of a house (a common occurrence in late summer when young bats are learning how to fly), the lights should be turned on, doors or windows should be opened, and usually the bats will leave on their own accord. If a bat is discovered in the living quarters of a house during the day, efforts to encourage it to leave will be most successful if it is encouraged to fly through an open window or door at night. Good luck with this problem.
