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

About Placerville and the Boise Basin, Southwest Idaho region
Placerville is a tiny historic community in Boise County, set in the forested Boise Basin northeast of Boise. It was founded during the 1860s gold rush, when thousands of miners flooded the basin's placer diggings, and it retains a historic district with surviving frontier-era buildings around its old town square. Today Placerville is a quiet, heavily wooded mountain settlement surrounded by the Boise National Forest, with ponderosa pine and fir blanketing the ridges and creek drainages. Remnants of the mining era, including tailings and old workings, lie scattered through the timber. Cold winters, a high mountain setting, and a mix of historic wood-frame structures and forest define the area. The dense conifer forest, creek bottoms, and aging buildings give Placerville a strong forest-interface and historic-town character.
The Boise National Forest surrounding Placerville, with its ponderosa pine, fir snags, and creek drainages, offers bats rich foraging and tree-roosting habitat, while old mine workings provide crevice roosts. Little brown myotis and big brown bats are the species most likely to use buildings, with long-legged myotis, long-eared myotis, and silver-haired bats favoring the forest. The town's historic wood-frame buildings and cabins present attic and wall voids where colonies can settle, with bats entering through eave gaps during the warm summer roosting season.

Common questions about bat removal in Placerville
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.
