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>

What are the best ways to prevent a bird from returning to the nest site?

• <div><p>Both spikes and loose nets can be installed over nest sites to prevent the bird from returning, but nets are not a humane option since birds and other wildlife can get tangled in them. </p><p>Spikes are a humane alternative that deter nesting without harming the birds. In small areas, like vents, a very fine mesh net can be installed to prevent the bird from returning. These nets don't generally pose a risk to the birds.</p></div>

What should I do if I find a dead bat in my home?

• <div><p>Finding a dead bat in your home can be frightening, even during spooky season. The <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-should-i-do-if-i-find-dead-or-dying-bats-or-if-i-observe-bats-signs-white-nose-syndrome">United States Department of Interior </a>states that if you find a dead bat, take these steps:</p><ul><li><p>Contact your <a href="https://www.whitenosesyndrome.org/contact/local-bat-expert">state wildlife agency</a> to report the finding</p></li><li><p>Photograph the bat safely to help the wildlife agency determine the species</p></li><li><p>Use disposable gloves to place the bat into a plastic bag, making sure to spray with disinfectant and close the bag securely </p></li><li><p>Thoroughly clean your hands and any clothing that came into contact with the bat </p></li></ul><p>If you see one dead bat, you might have a large bat infestation that needs to be treated immediately.
