If you are in New Orleans, LA look for Parker Wildlife Control. To remove bats you must seal up the house after installing a one way door, where the bats fly out and cannot fly back in, it sounds easy and it can be under the right circumstances. Setting up a job properly can take even an expert awhile. If you have a metal roof the problem may be in the ridge cap or along every rise in the pleated run! All cracks and crevices must be sealed, before you can even think about removing the guano they leave behind, again - if you have a problem consult an expert!

We live in a log sided home and they are getting in to the roof and wall through the gap between the logs. That is our entire house so we can't possibly close all openings. Plus, it is winter and the roof is covered with snow. My husband is very worried about the quanno building up all winter. Can we get rid of them during the winter? And if not, how do we possibly get rid of them in the Spring when the entire house is like a big bat house.

We finally cut into the drywall in our living room and found bat guano in between two studs, from the bottom to the top imbedded in the insulation. The poop has become moldy, which made us believe we had a water problem and possibly a leak somewhere. Anyway, has anyone ever had this problem and how do you rid your house of the smell? Any suggestions as to how we can be sure this is the only place we have a problem. We have been having a moldy smell in our house for about 3 weeks.

If they stay up in the attic, no problem. Last night, I found one in my kitchen for the first time. Now there's a problem. Time to get a net. The old house I live in is lousy with bats.

Check locally for your specific regulations. I can shoot brown bats all day long where I live. They are NOT cute cuddly creatures like the radical animal lovers tell you. They and their feces can carry very dangerous diseases and in my opinion they are simply flying rats! Are we sorry to kill rats in your house?

I had to rent her a hotel for a few nights while my friends and I stayed at the house with a six pack camping and waiting for the little stinker to show up again. Well, he didn't show up, just when she's here! How do you find where the bat is coming from? I live in Worcester, MA, does anyone know a good exterminator? I hope that they aren't breeding in my attic or something... oh man, I'm hoping I find his ass tonight!!!

Call a reputable pest control company that will relocate them & seal their point of entry. I know it costs money but in the long run it will be worth it. Killing a single bat or several will not prevent more of them from entering your living space.
