Hi Rosemarie,

Assuming you live in Ohio, please visit this website for information on bats in houses.
https://u.osu.edu/obwg/coexisting-with-bats/
If you think you have a colony of bats in your home, the solution is exclusion. Exclusion uses one-way devices that allow bats to exit the building and not reenter. The above link will give you more information on the next steps.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to my personal email - <personal data hidden>.

Thanks,
Marne
