I bought a build. once that had bats in a overhead storage aera. The previous owners told me they had tried ever thing in the world to rid of them and no luck. Since I was going to remove the overhead storage area, I wanted them gone. After reasearch and talking to numerous people, I found they leave the area at night, but not always everyone of them ever night. I could not see any area they could be getting in, so I set up and watched all around the build. and one night about 9:00 p.m. I stopped counting at 200 plus bats left the area. I also determined the best solution was to not kill them and as mentioned they drop before there wings spread, so I done as others had and took a 12 inch long piece of PVC pipe, heated the end to soften the plastis to wedge in the hole they were using, then sealed around the pipe so they had to exit thru the pipe and tied a womens nylon to the other end with the end cut out. They will drop out of the nylon when they leave but not be able to open the end to return. After a week, I had no more bats and then during the early winter, I used the spay expandable foam to seal the hole and have never seen any since. If you did not want to try this, I would use the bucket of water method that is mentioned.
