Bats

[Panthro]

I've located a small cliche of bats living in my house. It seems the previous owners put up a metal brce to keep them out. This however loosened over time and now I see this flying rodents popping in and out behind it.

I know they are pooping in my walls which is even more worrisome (ie bat poo crazy) Has anyone had experience with hiring a company to remove them and how much am I looking at?

You not allowed to remove brown bats (most popular breed) during breeding season in most states (not sure of NC). Babies have to be old enough to fly (from April to October I believe). Their feces are extremely hazardous and can be deadly. I would suggest wait until they flight out at night and tight the metal net so they won't be able to comeback. Just don't tell anyone or you can be in trouble. Cleaning after bats can cost you upwards of 50k but it also depends on a colony size. Good luck.

Also, bats do have rabies and they do bite. So be careful.

It's like 5 or 6 bats and they just started nesting there a month or so ago.

embrace them, turn your house into a bat cave, and fight crime at night.

Build a bat box in the woods. Repair the entry point.

5 to 6 bats is alright. They produce 1 baby per year so the max bats u will have is 10-12. They eat up to 1000 mosquitoes per night so they poop a lot. Also, if u don't cover this hole, they will all com back next year. All 12 of em to reproduce. 12 bats won't cause 50k damage but it will ruin ur attic and walls nonetheless. In few months ur house will smell very toxic.

Never ever inhale air near their feces without a mask or respirator or touch their poop with bare hands. Can be very deadly.
