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

About Lapwai and the North Central Idaho / Clearwater Country region
Lapwai lies in the canyon of Lapwai Creek in Nez Perce County, in north central Idaho's Clearwater country south of Lewiston. It is the seat of government for the Nez Perce Tribe, and the nearby Spalding site marks one of the oldest mission settlements in the region. The town sits in a narrow valley where Lapwai Creek runs through grassy, basalt-rimmed hills toward its confluence with the Clearwater River, the terrain shifting from canyon bottom cottonwoods to dry bunchgrass slopes and scattered pine on the heights. Lapwai keeps a mix of older wood-frame homes and civic buildings. The blend of a creek corridor, basalt canyon walls, and aging structures gives the area diverse roosting habitat for wildlife.
Lapwai Creek and the nearby Clearwater River give Lapwai bats water and insect-rich foraging through the canyon at night, while the basalt walls of the surrounding hills hold natural crevice roosts. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most likely to shift from rock cracks into older homes and outbuildings, using soffits, attics, and siding gaps. Western small-footed myotis and Yuma myotis also favor the rocky, water-adjacent terrain.

Common questions about bat removal in Lapwai
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.
