My nephew discovered that there are bats in his roof. When he called to have them removed recently he was told that it could not be done at this time and would have to wait until Fall. Is this true? He is concerned because he has two small children and has already found one dead in his yard. He lives in Lake County in Gurnee. If he has to wait what should he do to protect his children? Thank you.

Did he call a nuisance wildlife control operator, or did he talk with a wildlife biologist from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources? I'd recommend that he talk with Stephanie Fitzsimons with the IDNR. She can be reached at:(847)608-3100 Ext. 32050
