Homes in Central Iowa offer the perfect environment for roosting:
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.

The most common nesting spots include:
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.

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 Winter is often the best time for bird vent removal and prevention because nests are no longer active and exterior gaps can be sealed safely.
