[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 371643, member: 1963"] Bats actually would much prefer to live in places other than basements and attics and the like. Once you get these out of here (call wildlife relocation co.) and seal up any openings they could be getting through. Why not set up some "bathouses" on your property. These are specially made boxes designed to be ideal roosts. Bats like to sleep all huddled together, so they'll cram themselves into the bathouses and leave your basement alone. Bats are very beneficial animals (Other than fruit bats, which are really humungous and can destroy fruit crops, as well as carrying Lyssa Virus and a couple of other nasties. Bats live on nasty insects like mosquitos and the like. They can see, but navigate in pitch darkness using sound waves (sonar). The problem with bats in your belfry is that they are only mammal that can carry rabies without necessarily showing signs. You DON'T want to get bitten. Plus several varieties of US bats are endangered and it is illegal to harm them. Call a removal service to come catch the bat and relocate it. They can also tell you where they are coming in and how to seal off those openings. [/QUOTE]
