1) If bats get into your house, remediation can be very expensive. As you say, pest exclusion is the way to go. Most companies that provide termite bonds will also throw in pest exclusion (it's not expensive, warrantied for the first year, just decline the annual check thereafter and maintain it yourself.
2) Build and install a bat house! is the best idea, but our bathouse is still waiting five years later for bats to find it :<
One winter day, I was in the “master bedroom”, tried to put on my shoe and it wouldn’t fit.
I thought, maybe, a wadded-up sock was in it so I thumped it on the floor and a cold, sleeping, bat rolled out !
I took it to work and did “show and tell”. Fun times !
( never could figure out how it got in - but there were plenty of ways, no doubt)
