Generally you will find bats entering and leaving in the east, south, or so=
utheast of the structure. Any place I saw them entering my house was prett=
y protected, like a soffit, or the end of a ridge vent that was not sealed =
properly. Droppings can be noticed on inside or outside.
I got most of my education (and the bat houses that I built) from the Bat C=
onservancy=E2=80=A6 http://www.batcon.org/, as well as the =E2=80=98bat man=
=E2=80=99 that I hired for the exclusion (after I tried unsuccessfully).
They are good to have around, just not in the attic!

Sounds like bats to me.=C2=A0 Only need a gap the size of a dime to get in.=

Since they are protected, you must exclude them rather than kill them.
Took nearly 2 yrs to get them out of my attic.=C2=A0=20

Subject: [Shop-talk] What animal is in my ceiling?
=C2=A0
I've searched the Internet, but all answers seem to require that I actually=
see evidence, and I don't. It's in the ceiling between floors. No dropping=
s anywhere. I hear little feet like mice skittering across the ceiling, and=
a great big ruckus like two squirrels chasing each other, moving quickly i=
n the 3/4" space created by the strapping between joists and sheetrock.=20
=C2=A0
They are loudly active mostly at night, almost always at 4:30am. Often in t=
he evenings, but sometimes during the day too. However, I haven't heard the=
m in 2 days. Sometimes this happens.
=C2=A0
I cannot find any entry points, so I can't observe how they are getting in.=
A lot of the roof trim is rotted at the ends, but there is no evidence of =
anything in the attic, and I never hear anything in the walls.=20
=C2=A0
In the past, any mice have eventually made it to the basement traps, but no=
t this time.=20
=C2=A0
thanks,
jim
