Bat management is truly a challenge. Any opening 3/8 inch or larger is sufficient for entry of smaller bats, so pest management professionals must be very thorough in their efforts.
The first part of successfully managing a bat infestation is to inspect and evaluate the situation. Two inspections may be necessary for a full understanding of the situation.
An inspection at dusk determines the size of the infestation as the bats leave for their nightly feeding. Also, it shows their preferred exit point from the structure.
A second inspection needs to take place during daylight hours when the bats are sleeping and humans can see best (bright lights such as flashlights and work lights may scare the bats at night and cause them to change their habits). This inspection needs to identify deficiencies of the building/structure, the roosting site, species of bat and equipment needed to effectively control.
