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

About St. Anthony and the Upper Snake River Valley region
St. Anthony is the seat of Fremont County in eastern Idaho, set on the Henrys Fork of the Snake River in the Upper Snake River Valley. The town is well known for the St. Anthony Sand Dunes, a large field of shifting dunes northwest of the city, and for the trout-rich waters of the Henrys Fork that flow through the area. Surrounding farmland grows potatoes, grain, and seed crops across an irrigated plain laced with canals, rising toward the foothills of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and the Yellowstone country to the northeast. The historic downtown holds early brick and wood-frame buildings. Cold, snowy winters and warm summers define the high-valley climate, with the river corridor and dunes giving the landscape unusual variety.
The Henrys Fork corridor and surrounding irrigated farmland near St. Anthony produce strong insect activity that draws foraging bats over the river and canals. Big brown bats and little brown myotis are the species most likely to roost in the town's older brick and wood-frame downtown buildings, barns, and farmhouse attics. Yuma myotis hunt low over the Henrys Fork at dusk. The mix of river bottomland, farm structures, and nearby forest edge offers both feeding corridors and the warm, sheltered roosts that building-dwelling bats seek.

Common questions about bat removal in St. Anthony
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.
