Texas – bats in apartment unit

April 22

A property manager for an apartment complex in San Antonio, TX called after a resident had alerted her to a small bat colony within the unit. We suspect the bat roost is a nursery colony, meaning they cannot be excluded until September or flightless babies will be trapped in the roost and die. We worked with the caller on how to locate any potential cracks or holes near her ceiling which the bats could be using to enter the living quarters, then sealing those areas off with paper towels, caulking or anything handy. Then, in September, when the babies are all flying she can perform a humane eviction on the outside of the home using the instructions on our website. We also provided the names of rescuers in her area in case she finds any downed bats in the meantime.
