Looking for some advice from anyone who's dealt with bats.

We have a bat colony using our soffit area, and we've had two wildlife companies come out with very different recommendations.

Company #1:

• Said they couldn't confirm activity in the soffit because they couldn't access the area.
• Recommended sealing every potential entry point on the house. We have a few "potential areas".
• Quoted just under $4,000, plus $45/month for an ongoing warranty.

Company #2:

• Immediately identified the soffit entry we'd already suspected.
• Tapped the soffit and confirmed bats were inside.
• Found a second active entry point.
• Recommended installing exclusion devices, sealing those two entry areas after the bats leave, and treating the attic.
• Charging $1,400.

What surprised me was that the second company said they could charge $10,000+ to seal every tiny gap on the house, but that it isn't always practical because if bats are determined to get in, they'll often find another weak spot. Their focus is sealing the actual entry points instead.

I'm leaning toward the second company because they seemed much more knowledgeable. They spent less time here and confirmed there are bats, while the first company walked around the roof for and was here for easily a half hour and said they couldn't inspect the area we were concerned about.. It's too steep. But the second company went to an obvious soffit area, not the entry, tapped, and heard fluttering. That fluttering we had always thought was wind... seems they lived here before us.

My biggest concern is making sure the bats don't come back. We had bats in a different soffit area before, right above our door, and one flew out toward us, so I'm pretty anxious about going through this again, as it's still above our door, but just 5 feet higher. They still fly in our doorway area.

For those who've had professional bat exclusion done:

• Did your company seal only the active entry points or your entire house?
• Have the bats stayed away?
• Would you be concerned about only sealing the known entry areas?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences!
