What are signs I have bats in my house?

• <div><p>Chirping noises, droppings, scratches on the walls, and stains at entries and exits are all <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-bats-attic.htm">signs that you have bats in your house</a> or, more specifically, your attic. Because bats are nocturnal, there’s a chance that bats have already infested your home before you start to see warning signs, so don’t delay if you notice anything. If you see a bat or two at sunrise or sunset near your property, that’s another telltale sign that they could be setting up shop inside your space. </p></div>
