They can. Species, roosting behavior, migration, maternity timing, climate, and location can all affect the recommended approach and timing for bat control.
A one-way bat valve is an exclusion device that allows bats to exit through an active opening but prevents them from returning through that same opening. It is typically used as part of a larger bat exclusion and seal-up plan.
Bats can use small openings around rooflines, vents, siding, soffits, fascia, chimneys, and other construction gaps. An inspection helps identify active entry points and other areas that may be vulnerable.
Bats may return to established roosting areas and familiar structures. If secondary openings remain available, they may also find another way back inside. A thorough exclusion plan looks at the entire structure, not just one visible opening.
No. Bat exclusion is seasonal. Young bats may be flightless during maternity season and must become volant before exclusion can be performed safely. For Montana projects, High Country Wildlife does not perform bat exclusions from June 1 through October 1.
Bat exclusion is a method of allowing bats to leave a structure while preventing them from re-entering. One-way devices such as bat valves or screen tubes may be used at active openings, followed by sealing or repair work once the bats have exited.
Start with a professional inspection. The goal is to determine how the bats are entering, where they are roosting, and whether the time of year allows safe exclusion. High Country Wildlife can inspect the property and recommend the appropriate bat removal and bat exclusion plan.
