I've got a bat problem

The genius owner of my rental house didn't seal off the gaps between the fascia and the concrete roofing tiles and I discovered that there's about 20 of those little bastards camping out above the bay window in the master bedroom.
Is there some sort of repellent that I can use to make sure they get out before the gaps in the fascia are closed? Don't want to smell their rotting carcasses for 2 weeks. Thanks.

At least you won't have a skeeter problem around the place. Sorry about the guano melting your house though. We got them under the cedar siding on our cabin in MN and it was like trying to get rid of crabgrass. Good luck.

Wait till the fly out at night and hang a tarp over the area that they enter through. Bats can't see shite so the tarp will keep them out until you fix the gap. My dad just went through this issue and that's how he got it done

My buddy cleared his problem with a shop vac in the middle of the day. They hung tight and just let him suck them up one by one.

Where are you? I'll come get them. They eat bugs like a bunch of mini-machines.

Have you tried garlic or holy water?

it would take 30 bats to equal enough guts and meat to stink. They are tiny. just seal em up

Get them gone before they multiply and they will.
I read you can put a garbage bag with pebble/sand in the bottom with the top attached to the roofing tiles above their entrance with it laying over it. Seems they come out at night and can't figure out how to get back in under the bag. Seal the entrances.
