I've had to have them removed before and our state puts limitations on their removal so, a specialty critter company has to take care of that here!

They are common around here, especially in older homes near the river, where they feed on mosquitoes.

We had bats at our office a couple of years ago and found out they had migrated there because of the termites that were in the wood on the front porch. Better get that checked. In our case the bats alerted us to the termite problem.

We owned a house with cedar siding and wood shutters for a few years that was surrounded by woods. We had little bats living behind the shutters and I didn't mind except for the occasional smell from the bat guano which btw is sold as fertilizer. Eventually we removed the siding and the bats had to move out. We had built them bat houses but they didn't like those. We never had a bat in the house and they did take care of lots of bugs.

Be careful about removing them... here they are considered an endangered critter so you cannot kill them... you have to dissuade them from returning. We do have them here and it is an issue because you are not allowed to exterminate them

Bats? I see them every night. We have bats where I live and growing up partially in Napa region, we had them there too. No fear of bats.

More often it is 1 or 2 bats in an attic. For large colonies it has always been in a barn or out building. Here they will relocate bats from a home to rural areas, they are great bug eaters

Yes only once & it freaked me out. They are supposed to be good to have around until they go under your shingles & do a bunch of other things.
They were just talking abut a bat house on This Old House.

I haven't seen them in the house but I've heard about it from people who have had them. They usually first notice them when they hear noise by the roof at night.

Bats are good; we actually looked into building a bat house, but they need to be pretty big. Bats consume a huge, huge about of mosquitoes and we know those bugs have been carrying some nasty diseases.

Had bats at our cabin in Colorado. Between the shutters and the windows. You can set up bat houses in nearby trees if you want to keep them around.

We have SO many mosquitoes I'm surprised there aren't bats in our backyard! I like them though, they are just curious and don't want to hurt humans unless humans mess with them.

You'd better hurry with the bat colony removal because stats you've mentioned about rabies can be not so calming, you know.
Sister of my schoolmate died from rabies because of bat's bite. Be careful!
