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

About Plummer and the North Idaho region
Plummer sits in Benewah County in the Idaho panhandle and is the largest community on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation, serving as a tribal and regional hub. The town lies on a rolling plateau of farmland and forest in the rounded hills of the southern Coeur d'Alene country, south of Coeur d'Alene Lake. The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, a long paved rail-trail, begins near Plummer and runs eastward through the chain lakes and river marshes. Wheat and timber country surrounds the town, with stands of pine and fir mixed among open fields and wetland-fringed lowlands. Older wood-frame homes and reservation community buildings sit amid the wooded plateau. The blend of farmland, conifer forest, and nearby lake and marsh habitat gives Plummer a varied north-Idaho landscape.
The mix of farmland, conifer forest, and the lake and marsh habitat near Plummer gives bats abundant insects and roosting options, with the Coeur d'Alene chain lakes and river marshes especially rich foraging grounds. Little brown myotis and big brown bats commonly use buildings, while long-legged myotis, long-eared myotis, and silver-haired bats favor the surrounding forest and snags. Older wood-frame homes and community buildings offer attic and wall spaces where summer colonies can form, with bats entering through eave and soffit gaps.

Common questions about bat removal in Plummer
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.
