  • Fall is the perfect time of year to safely evict uninvited bats from your attic and other buildings on your property. Installing a bat house as an alternative roosting site for bats is a great way to deter them from entering your home, allowing you to appreciate them from a distance. Fall is also a great opportunity to clean and maintain your bat houses while bats have migrated to their wintering locations.
    Our Small Mammals Biologist Alyssa Bennett explains how and where to use bat houses and demonstrates how to clean them.

    If the bat box could be electrically heated to 45 degrees would the bats hibernate in the boxes through out the winter?

    Do bats migrate in southern California?

      California has some species that we do not and visa versa, and their behaviors can be different. However, we can say that many species of bats across the country migrate between their summer and winter roost sites, even if they live in warmer parts of the country.

    Oh my goodness did you just mention covid 19? Had nothing to do with bats. Good grief.

      She was worried about transmitting a virus to the bats, not catch it from the bats.
