Since bats are nocturnal creatures, you should wait until evening. You should take a look outside your house and see if there are any bats that are getting in and out of the crawl space. If you identify the spaces that they are using, you should seal them. Some of the materials that you can use in sealing the spaces include caulk, weather stripping and wire mesh.
If it’s late in the evening and you still believe that there are still bats in the crawl space you should install a one-way bat door that will allow the bats to leave the space, but can’t enter. This is only possible when you’ve hired our services, as we possess vast experience in crawl space cleaning, by using all the latest techniques and methods in cleaning.
If the bats aren’t leaving at night you should consider repelling them. One of the best chemicals to use is naphthalene. The chemical will emit a strong odor that will not only repel the bats, but one that will discourage them from returning to the crawl space.
You should note that while the chemical is very safe for indoor use, you should avoid applying it if you have respiratory problems. If you don’t want to use the chemical you can consider using other alternatives such as using bright lights. When you shine bright light on the bats you make them uncomfortable thus they leave the space.
Another way of getting rid of the animals is by using electric fans. These ones will make noise that will repel the animals and thus prevent them from entering your house or in the attic.
