After the colony has left, we remove the devices and seal every opening permanently. No trapping, no poison, no harm to the bats.

About Downey and the Southeast Idaho region
Downey is a small city in Bannock County, southeast Idaho, set in the Marsh Creek valley south of Pocatello and Arimo along the Interstate 15 corridor. It lies in rolling foothill and farm country between the Bannock and Portneuf ranges, with dryland grain, hay, and grazing land filling the valley floor and slopes. Nearby Downata Hot Springs is a longstanding local landmark, and the Caribou National Forest highlands rise to the east toward Oxford Peak. The town grew as a farming and rail community and keeps a quiet residential core of early twentieth century wood frame homes and farmsteads. Marsh Creek drains the valley northward toward the Portneuf River, lining the bottomland with willow and cottonwood, while juniper and sagebrush cover the surrounding dry hills.
Marsh Creek, the hot springs area, and the foothill draws around Downey provide water and insect prey that bring foraging bats over the valley at dusk. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most apt to roost in buildings, entering attics, barns, and older wood frame homes through small gaps. The dry juniper and sagebrush slopes and rock outcrops also support myotis species that shelter in crevices and tree bark during the warm season.

Common questions about bat removal in Downey
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.
