I have a house that I performed a bat exclusion last year. Now i Have a bat(s) roosting on the stuco under a porch. The home owner does not want the mess there. There is no gap to seal them out of (just clinging to the stuco) and I have never seen a bat there during the day. Any ideas to keep them from hanging out there?

You could set some glue boards up in the corners , I get the same problem here on a few jobs and sometimes you just need to catch them seeing that's why the called in the first place , use Pam to get them out of the glue then what?

Or make the corners slippery so they have nothing to grab on. Sometimes a better selling point when the solution is more permanent. Using rolled aluminum works for me. X2 although a good talking to sounds good Paul!

This is usually a temporary problem if you move them by habitat modification. Everyone has already spoken of most of my solutions. Slicking it up works, I take a foot of mylar and make a fold of duct tape over one end about 1/2 inch down to toughen it up. Then I put a fishing swivel thru it and a piece of monofilament line so it constantly moves and spins and hang it near the loafing spot by attaching it to the ceiling or a wire hanger similar to a woodpecker frightener sold at bird or farm supply stores. Or buy a woodpecker kit. Mix some water with tabasco sauce and paint the area. Not any hot sauce but tabasco or hotter you want to add heat not flavor.
Sleep'n with an animal..I can help. Do not use both feet when testing the depth or temperature of the water Your Friend, Paul Brooker
