Keep in mind that even small holes can be a potential problem because squirrels can fit through holes 1. 5 inches (3. 8 cm) in diameter, and bats can get through gaps as small as . 38 inches (. 95 cm).
Don’t forget to install covers on your soffit vents as well. Your soffit vents are located on the underside part of the roof that hangs over the sides of your home.
Make sure to check your traps at least every 24 hours to keep any trapped animals from dying of thirst or starvation. You can then either release the animal into your yard or contact a wildlife rescue or animal control to remove it for you. Do not take the animal somewhere else and release it—this is illegal in most places.
