Why Bats Appear in Central Iowa Homes

Bats enter homes for one main reason: heat and shelter.

 

Homes in Central Iowa offer the perfect environment for roosting:

✔ Attic heat escaping through tiny gaps

✔ Openings around rooflines, soffits, and trim

✔ Chimney gaps

✔ Unscreened attic vents

✔ Construction gaps on newer homes

Once inside, bats settle into attics, wall cavities, and roof structures where temperatures remain stable — especially during winter months.
If even one bat enters the living area, it is usually a sign that a colony exists somewhere inside the structure.

Why Birds Nest on or In Houses in Central Iowa

House sparrows, pigeons, and starlings seek out warm, protected areas on homes.

 

The most common nesting spots include:

✔ Dryer vents

✔ Bathroom vents

✔ Under decks

✔ Porch overhangs

✔ Corbels and decorative trim

✔ Gaps in siding or soffits

These areas stay warm and protected from predators, making them ideal nesting sites in the spring — and roosting sites in winter.

Once birds establish a spot on a home, they return every single year unless the opening is sealed and the nesting material is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please click here to email us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 Yes. Big & Little Brown Bats commonly overwinter inside attics, walls, and rooflines. Temperature swings during winter can wake them up, causing unexpected indoor sightings. 


 It almost always means a nest is being built (or already exists). Birds pack dryer and bathroom vents with grass, twigs, and debris, which can lead to fire hazards and clogged airflow. 


 No. Once a bat colony establishes itself inside a home, it returns every year unless the home is professionally excluded and sealed. 


 We install one-way exclusion devices that let bats exit but prevent re-enter. and we seal every gap 1/2" x 1" around the home to stop future access. 


 Yes. Winter is often the best time for bird vent removal and prevention because nests are no longer active and exterior gaps can be sealed safely. 


 Bats should never be handled by homeowners. While beneficial to the ecosystem, they can carry diseases and should be dealt with by a trained professional.
