Can bats in my attic get into my house?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s possible for bats in your attic to find a way into your living spaces. Until you can properly remove the bats, the best course of action is to keep the attic doors closed and any holes sealed. Evidence suggests <a href="https://naturalresources.extension.iastate.edu/wildlife/bats-around-and-home">bats follow the airflow in your home</a>, so they may try escaping from the attic to other parts of the house.</p></div>

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>

How do I prevent animals from building a nest in my house?

• <div><p>Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-keep-critters-away-your-home.htm">block off the entry</a>. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting. </p></div>

We moved into our new home on 1.19.22 As you know in St. Louis it was SUPER cold this time of year. There was no heat in our new home. Come to find out the furnace was too small for the size of our house. What little air (not heat) that was coming out of the system kept shutting off due to it...
