Bought a home in December of and had a home inspection from "Chip". Sometime in January I went into my attic to do something and notice feces, of some type, all over the floor space. I figured it was from mice, bought some traps and set them out. Nothing ever got caught, so I assumed they were remnants from a previous infestation. End of story, right? No.

Sometime in May, as it was warming up, we could hear scratching in the ceiling. I went up to investigate and saw a colony of bats hanging from the roof. Ah ha, so that's where the feces came from. I immediately began investigating what to do. I called two bat removal services and got estimates. Let me pause a minute and explain what has to be done when you have bats.

Most bats are on the protected species list, because they actually help the environment.
