Before we arrive
Until we get there
- If a bat is loose in a room, close the door, open a window and keep children and pets out.

- If someone may have been bitten, or a bat was found in a room where someone was asleep, call your doctor or the health department.
- Do not seal gaps yourself in summer. Young bats that cannot fly yet would be shut inside.

1 · Find the gaps
We look over the house and, when needed, watch where the bats come out at dusk.
2 · Fit one-way exits
The bats can fly out at night but cannot get back in.

We close the other gaps they could use, then take the exits down and close those gaps last.

Questions about bats in Glenolden
Do bats chew their way in like squirrels?
No. Bats do not chew. They squeeze through gaps that are already there, often smaller than you would expect.
