Day Roosting Bat

Bats
will often use high areas of porches, garages, carports, etc., to rest
during their nightly foraging routines.
We call
such places "night roosts" and the bats performing such behavior "night
roosting bats."
Night
roosts are apparent, as no crevice or gap is present in the structure,
yet signs of bat guano and urine are visible on the ground and walls.
To
discourage night roosting bats, we recommend several methods.
1.
Place a work light beam where the bats habitually roost.
2.
Using a large fan, direct a high volume of air where the bats
habitually roost.
3. When the bats are not present, spray
the areas where they roost with a dog or cat deterrent spray.
4.
Install bat netting to completely exclude bats from unwanted areas.
Some
species of bats are not discouraged by light. The pallid bat, as seen
in the image above, is "day roosting" in an exposed area.
Desert

from most areas where they are not wanted. We can also provide high
quality, halogen lights with timers, if needed.
