Bats in Downspout [Atlanta, GA]
I got bats living in my downspout! I have opened it like this and they’ve flown out but always come back after a week or so.
I bought a bat barn and intend to hang in about 50’ away on a big oak tree about 15’ up. Question is, how do I stop them from coming back to the downspout? I don’t even know how they would get out of there. The drain pipe goes into the ground and travels about 75’ underground before emptying. Must be getting in through the top but how on earth do they get out? How do I get them into the bat house??
Thanks for any info! I know nothing about bats.
