What is Roost?

The place where bats rest or sleep. In buildings, roosts are typically found in attics, eaves, and wall voids.

A roost is where bats rest, sleep, and raise their young. In buildings, roosts are typically found in attics, eaves, wall voids, chimneys, and other sheltered, warm spaces. Bats prefer roosts that are dark, warm, and safe from predators. Different bat species prefer different roost types - some hang from ceilings, others cling to walls, and some roost in crevices. Identifying roost locations is a key part of bat inspection and exclusion planning.
