Bat Species in the Ohio River Valley
The Greater Cincinnati area North through Dayton Ohio is one of the most populated areas in the midwest.
Significant amounts of forest remain within the residential suburbs of the cities. Making the region full of native and non-native species of nuisance wildlife.
Big Brown Bats and Little Brown Bats are the common species of Bat excluded from properties. Big/Little Brown Bats live in the same area for many years. Migrating South depending on breeding and current food & shelter needs. Colonies of Big/Little Brown Bats range from about 20-100. Female Bats giving birth to one pup a year, commonly living in female only nursery colonies while raising their young.
The exclusion of 15 or more bats from a structure between May 16th and July 31st requires written authorization from the Division of Wildlife (DOW) under Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 1501:31-15-03. This restricted period is put in place to protect bats and their flightless pups during the maternity period. Exclusions conducted during this time often cause more trouble than simply waiting until pups can fly (August).
Not only will the exclusion result in dead pups, but frantic mothers attempting to get back to their young often find their way into living spaces.
