Actually, now that I recall, one of the ridge vent ends I saw them entering=
/exiting from was on the north end of my house.  I suppose they will use an=
y entrance they can to a nice cozy attic!
BTW, droppings will usually have sparkles from the insect wings.

Generally you will find bats entering and leaving in the east, south, or so=

pretty protected, like a soffit, or the end of a ridge vent that was not se=

The timing leans towards bats coming and leaving. If you have enough, as on=
e our neighbors did, you can definitely hear them going in and out.=C2=A0

"Droppings will be at the entry points"...I sure hope this isn't accurate. =

Sounds like bats to me.=C2=A0 Only need a gap the size of a dime to get in.=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0Droppings will be at the entry points.=C2=A0 If it is warm whe=

Since they are protected, you must exclude them rather than kill them.
Took nearly 2 yrs to get them out of my attic.=C2=A0=20

=C2=A0
I've searched the Internet, but all answers seem to require that I actually=
 see evidence, and I don't. It's in the ceiling between floors. No dropping=
s anywhere. I hear little feet like mice skittering across the ceiling, and=
 a great big ruckus like two squirrels chasing each other, moving quickly i=
n the 3/4" space created by the strapping between joists and sheetrock.=20
=C2=A0
They are loudly active mostly at night, almost always at 4:30am. Often in t=
he evenings, but sometimes during the day too. However, I haven't heard the=
m in 2 days. Sometimes this happens.
=C2=A0
I cannot find any entry points, so I can't observe how they are getting in.=
 A lot of the roof trim is rotted at the ends, but there is no evidence of =
anything in the attic, and I never hear anything in the walls.=20
=C2=A0
In the past, any mice have eventually made it to the basement traps, but no=
t this time.=20
=C2=A0
thanks,
jim
