Can anyone advise me on bats

The house was empty for two years

we have been living here now for one year

and thought we had Mice, but it turns out that it is Bats

can any one advise us on what to do to get rid of them

they are not it the loft but in the eaves

any advice would be welcome to solve this problem

In anticipation  

Yours Guern.

You can't 'get rid of them' - it's an offence to disturb them in any way. They will do absolutely no harm - they eat insects, and their droppings are also harmless. If they are under the eaves, why are they a problem?

Apparently bats have winter and summer quarters - you don't say if they are with you all the year.

We had bats appear in the cellar last spring - the door was delapidated and they just flew in, in numbers! As they don't like to be disturbed they soon found alternative accommodation, as our house had been empty for 2 years before we moved in.

I can lend you a noisy teenager - bats don't seem to like Iron Maiden, Motorhead or Nirvana :)

As an alternative, try putting the washing machine on warped floorboards - when the whole house shakes they don't like that either! :)
