Bats in an attic create a very specific kind of problem. They are not rodents, so the playbook for rodent control or rodent removal does not apply. They are not nuisance birds either, so bird control methods miss the mark. And because many bat species are protected by state law, and sometimes by local rules, a homeowner can turn a manageable issue into a legal and health mess by acting too fast.
