Fill up all the holes where they get in. They say to watch when the come and go at dusk, but I haven't found where that works. We were getting bats in our house, worst in the basement. I went around and plugged all holes, and plugged spaces that looked like holes. I even plugged things that looked like I could plug them, but we were getting bats in the basement.

Then my wife would pick me up and I would find the critter and put the finishing touches to it.

I put the finishing touches to that bat, and closed up the opening. It's been over 2 years and no bats.
