About Hansen and the Magic Valley region
Hansen sits on the south rim of the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls County, in the heart of Idaho's Magic Valley. The town anchors a stretch of intensively irrigated farmland fed by the Twin Falls canal system, with Rock Creek cutting south toward the South Hills and the Sawtooth National Forest. Hansen Bridge carries traffic across the deep basalt canyon just north of town, where sheer rock walls and ledges meet sagebrush flats. The community grew as an agricultural shipping point, leaving a stock of older wood-frame farmhouses, grain structures, and outbuildings. The mix of canyon rim, canal-side cottonwoods, and aging farm buildings creates the kind of warm, sheltered cavities and edge habitat that wildlife use across this part of southern Idaho.
The Snake River Canyon rim and Rock Creek corridor near Hansen give bats both water and night-flying insects, while basalt crevices offer natural day roosts. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most likely to shift from rock cracks into older farmhouses, barns, and outbuildings, slipping behind fascia, into soffits, or under loose siding. Yuma myotis also favor water-adjacent structures. Warm summer attics in aging wood-frame buildings can draw maternity colonies seeking stable heat.

Common questions about bat removal in Hansen
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.
