The walls in the house may have a small hole in it, and this may make it easy for bats to enter, even if the size of the hole is about 1 to 2 inches wide, it is enough for them to gain entry and create mess around. Therefore, if you find any crack or hole, you should find something to seal it up.

As a nocturnal animal that bat is, they are afraid of light and will avoid anywhere there is light. You need to light the room in the daylight when the bats are sleeping, so the reflection on the mirror will easily repel all the bats around.

CHRISTMAS DECORATION
