Exclusion In Action
Memorial Hall
Essex Center, Vermont

After the installation of the bat house structure at Memorial Hall in Essex Center, Vermont, it was necessary to perform an exclusion to prevent bats from getting back into the Hall. Before performing the exclusion a team from Chiroptera Cabin Company spent two nights observing bats as they left the building at dusk. This observation period help them come up with a plan on how best to proceed with the exclusion. The Team choose two egress locations that would be netted. The netting would allow the bats to leave at dusk but would prevent them from reentering the next dawn. The other egress locations would be plugged with insulation. After doing the exclusion the Team watched the Hall for a few more nights. When no more bats were observed exiting the Hall the remaining egress locations were plugged and the netting was removed. The bats were safety relocated to their new bat house home just a few yards away.
