I have a bat infestation on the outside of my house. They rest in an alcove above my front door (in fact there are two up there now). I wouldn't mind their presence, but they shit everywhere. I'm going to hose it down when they're gone tonight, but anyone deal with this before and find a way to discourage them from hanging out? Not looking to kill them of course.

Also I'm pretty sure they're specifically "little brown bats".

Dunno if it works on Bats, but a crowbar works wonders against a Robin.

I've heard that excessive masturbation will drive them away.

Please consider adopting a cat from your SPCA or local animal shelter.

Never had an infestation, but I find the business end of a broom does the trick. Those critters have all sorts of diseases.

TC you need to be careful. Disease is easily transmissable between bats and humans. You could easily get something on your hands from them you don't want. Be careful.

This will sound stupid, but I am being 100% serious and this is a thing you can buy.

Get a "bat house" and mount it away from your house, they'll roost in there instead of your house and you'll have the benefit of having them around for bug control.

board up/chicken wire the spot where they stay when they're not there and put up a bat house on a nearby tree.

In the future, you can put a few rubber snakes around the area, and up near where they were perching. It will discourage any more from coming.

There's bats all over where I live.

Doesn't help I live in a dark cave that only had electricity installed when I moved in.
