Rubber gloves and boots can be washed and used again. Big and Little Brown Bats readily adapt to man-made structures. These bats often take up residence in attics, between ceilings and roofs, and inside walls. A few bats may find refuge on the exterior of a house under shingles, or damaged siding. It is when bats gain access into a house or structure that people object.
Bats can enter a structure or building through cracks as small as -inch in size.
Bats cannot gnaw holes and must utilize existing openings. The key to bat control is finding and closing these apertures. Bats may first be detected when one gets into the living quarters or is seen leaving the home at dusk. Using a flashlight, or other source of light, try to spot bats in small crevices where they hide during the day. Pound on interior walls in areas you suspect the bats are roosting.
