Bat Evictions

[Jeff Gebhart]

We have had a few of our houses get bats in the attic.  The company we work with seems to do a great job with bat eviction.  Problem is in Michigan, bats are like bad tenants and they won't leave in the winter no matter what you do.  You have to wait until spring to get them out.  The cost to do this for us has been around $600.  They seal any holes, install one way doors and fix soffit/step flashing and everything.  Probably all something I could do myself but not sure I trust just an average handyman to do this.  Anyone have experience with this?  Is $600 reasonable or sound high?  Did I mention I hate bats? :)
