Why Bats Are Getting Into Homes Around Des Moines

Small Openings in the Roofline Let Bats Into Warm Attic Spaces 

 

Bats don’t need much space to get in. Small gaps around soffits, rooflines, vents, or trim are enough. Once inside, attics and wall spaces provide the warmth and shelter they’re looking for.

If a bat shows up inside your home, it’s often a sign they’re already living somewhere in the structure.

Why Birds Keep Nesting in Vents and Around Your Home

 Vents and Covered Areas Give Birds a Safe Place to Build Nests 

 

Birds are drawn to vents, overhangs, and other protected areas because they’re warm and sheltered. Bathroom vents, dryer vents, and covered spaces make it easy for them to build nests and stay out of the weather.

Once birds start using a spot, they will keep coming back year after year unless the nest is removed and the area is properly covered.

What does it mean if I see a bird going into a vent?


If you see a bird going in and out of a vent, there’s almost always a nest inside or being built. Birds pack dryer and bathroom vents with grass, twigs, and debris, which can block airflow and cause ongoing issues.


Will bats leave on their own?


No. Once bats settle into a home, they tend to stay and return year after year unless the entry points are properly sealed.


How do you remove bats from a home?


We install one-way devices that allow bats to leave safely but not return. Once they’re out, we seal all gaps and entry points to prevent future access.


Can birds be removed from vents any time of year?


In most cases, yes—but timing can matter depending on nesting activity. We’ll assess the situation and handle removal the right way based on what’s present.


Are bats dangerous?


Bats should never be handled by homeowners. While they play an important role in nature, they can create concerns if they’re inside a home. It’s best to have them handled professionally.


Do bats stay in homes year-round?


Yes. Bats can remain inside attics, walls, and roof areas for extended periods. Homeowners may notice activity at different times, especially when they become more active.
