Answers:

I can really empathize with your wife. We had one get in the house twice this year and it's really freaky. Hopefully they're only in your attic and not finding a way into your house. Watch at dusk to determine where they're coming out and when you're pretty sure they're all out for the night cover the holes and spaces. I've also heard people have had success with hanging old cd's from string and strips of aluminum foil by their entrance/exit areas. I guess this screws up their sonar so they will find another place to live. Hopefully you can successfully evict them without having to kill them as they are harmless and very beneficial animals. They just creep the beejezus out of me.

Contact your local wildlife rehab center to have the bats removed. Then seal up any little hole you have to keep them out in the future. Also, a pet cat or dog could help scare them away.

Try these sites. the first one is an informational government site, and the other one has traps you can order.

You need to call a professional to remove them immediately. The droppings also cause serious eye sight loss & can get severe with weeks (3 & on).

I had bats in my two story house as well. I don't mind the critters and enjoyed the numbers of mosquitoes they ate. But, they didn't need to be inside the house.
