    Great video. Can you comment on time of year to do this. July and August is when they have their babies and are nesting. If you seal them in the babies can die so it's better to wait in until later in the year. Also there are bat houses you can place on your property or outside of your house to encourage them to stick around and eat insects and mosquitos.

      When I contacted bat conservationist from the Wisconsin DNR site today he said that now (late August, definitely after the 15th) is a really good time to do this process. The pups should be independent at this point and the bats are still active enough to safely evict without the possibility of them hunkering down for hibernation. It varies by state, but your state's DNR is a wonderful resource.

    My husband! Naturally- classic women on table screaming- very old house and every summer we can't figure out how- my guy has had to kill ( we don't want them around the yard- pets, kids, rabies you know how people are! ) A few yrs ago we had 4 in 1 year and they are frightening. Thanks for your info. I had no idea size wise because obviously "Dracula" doesn't scope in when you let the dog out! Is it likely if there is one, there is another then? Crikey. I am having my fascia fixed today. My Siamese cats are mousers- I am a Buddhist and don't kill anything, nope not the snails in my garden, I love the eco chain, like you do, you keep them in their area for their lifespan, to eat mosquitoes etc. Thanks for a really informative video. Esp about the guano- NAMASTE, from Canada, now where did I leave the Batmobile! Z.

      So there are some plastic premade ones online but I like to use cloth. It's much easier to work with and it allows you to cover the vent then just create a funnel about 24" long at the bottom for them to fly out. We use a roll of weed block it's cheap and easy to work with.

      How we do it is we leave the one way door open for at least 2 weeks, that ensures they have all left because they cant go longer then that without food and water.

      @@lakeville1853 So whether they have left for hibernation for the winter or not I would just leave the one way door there for 2-weeks. That way even if some are still in the structure they would have to of left the structure for food or water. If you leave the one way door there all winter especially if its the fabric like we use it could start to deteriorate or weather could open holes in the fabric and allow the bats to get back inside.

    If my big house were not out in the woods, where would all these bats go? They have infested my attic. I can smell them during the summertime. To me they are the worst thing that could have happened to my house besides a fire. It's expensive to get the insulation torn out and redone. What a freaking mess.

    When I was 19 years old during a month of September that I accidentally let in 2 bats. I came home afternoon and found one bat under the blind to the dinning room table. I pushed the bat out with a hair spray bottle. The 2nd bat came out while I was cooking my dinner. I put my dinner in the microwave oven so the bat won’t get it. I grabbed my father’s fishing net and block the door entrance to my bedroom. In one swoop that I caught the bat in the net. I flipped the net once to not have the bat escape inside the house. I flipped it back so the bat flew away into the woods unharmed it. I even talked to my parents afterwards. They both laughed at what had happened to me. Even using the fishing net was a good idea. My mother had 4 bats inside of the house at one time. We didn’t have a fishing net. We used the lids to these containers to have them go outside. Even my mother had a bat inside of the house over 10 years ago. My mother screamed for me. I used a broom for getting the bat out. I didn’t wore my glasses or even my contacts. I got it outside closing the patio door from the house into the enclosed back porch and out from another patio door towards the outside. I did closed all of the bedroom doors and even the main bathroom door across from one of the bedrooms. My mother was in her bedroom with her little dog. I told her the bat is out of the house. I think it was a day or 2 that my mother spotted another bat. I didn’t see it.

      He left an exit so the bats inside can leave. You don’t want to trap them inside. Putting the black piece of cloth there prevents the bats from coming in. They wouldn’t know how to crawl up and find their way inside.

    Won't new ones just find another way in next year and then you're out thousands of dollars every year calling in the bat removal guys???? We used a sonic sound machine in our attic, got our soffits repaired...worked for 2 years and cost a lot less than this. We now have bats again (they are getting in under our roof shingles) so it's time to replace the sound machines. (I was wondering how long they would last). Our house is a 2 story victorian with a HUGE attic and I'm sure more entry places than I can count or even contemplate trying to seal up. I'm also sure removal would cost over $10k for us.

    • @ericgermain306
      @ericgermain306 Рік тому

      You need to seal the entire house from the outside, you can not just do one spot like they show in the video, bats will find another way to enter the same house. Having the entire house bat-proof is the only way to go. I'm an NWCOA-certified bat control
