Thank you for the replies! I wouldn’t say I fear bats themselves, I wasn’t really afraid until he started talking about all the rabies precautions. We’ve just never dealt with something like this and I want to make smart decisions instead of “worried mom” decisions as my husband calls them. I’m sure I’ll know more after the two other companies come tomorrow. We wouldn’t have the first clue how to begin doing it ourselves so we are willing to pay experts. But the first people who came out (big nationally known company) wouldn’t even consider it being anything other than bats, wouldn’t discuss setting other traps in case it was something else even though where it is scratching is near an outlet and obviously wiring, and said we just needed to pay them the money to take care of the bats.
