About Arimo and the Southeast Idaho region
Arimo is a small city in Bannock County in southeast Idaho, tucked into the Marsh Creek valley south of Pocatello along the historic route now followed by Interstate 15. The town is named for a Shoshone leader and grew as a rail and farming stop in the rolling foothill country between the Portneuf and Bannock ranges. Marsh Creek winds through the valley floor, draining toward the Portneuf River, and the surrounding land is a patchwork of dryland grain, hay meadows, and grazed hillsides rising into juniper and sagebrush slopes. Arimo keeps a quiet residential core of modest early twentieth century homes and farmsteads, with the Caribou National Forest highlands not far to the east. Downey and McCammon are close neighbors along the same valley corridor.
Marsh Creek and the foothill draws around Arimo supply water and insect prey that draw foraging bats over the valley at dusk. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most apt to roost in buildings here, entering attics, barns, and older wood frame homes through small gaps. The mix of riparian creek bottom and dry juniper sage slopes also supports myotis species that shelter in rock crevices and tree bark across the warmer months.

Common questions about bat removal in Arimo
Why can't I just seal the bats in or use poison?
Sealing bats inside is illegal under Idaho and federal law. Poison is prohibited for bats entirely. Humane one-way exclusion is the only legal method and the only method that works permanently.
When is the best time to do bat removal in Idaho?
Spring (March through May) and late summer through fall (August 15 through October) are the two ideal windows. We do not do exclusions during the maternity season when flightless pups are present, roughly June through mid-August, because sealing exits during that period traps juveniles inside.
How long does the process take?
After devices are installed, the colony clears in 5 to 10 days. We then return to remove devices and permanently seal every opening. Total project time is typically one to two weeks depending on colony size and weather.
