A bat colony is a group of bats living together in a structure. Colonies can range from small maternity colonies of a few dozen bats to large colonies of hundreds or thousands. In residential settings, colonies are typically found in attics, wall voids, chimneys, and other sheltered spaces. Large colonies create more contamination, use multiple entry points, and require more complex exclusion planning. Colony size affects the scope of cleanup needed and may influence the timing of exclusion work.
