Why Bats Choose Chimneys in Troy MI
An uncapped chimney mimics a hollow tree — the natural roost bat species have used for thousands of years. Troy MI homes built before 1990 along Rochester Road, Big Beaver Road, and the Long Lake Road corridor frequently have uncapped masonry chimneys that allow bat entry from May onward.
Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) are the two species most commonly found in Troy MI chimneys. Colonies range from 5 to 40+ individuals. Female bats return to the same roost every maternity season — meaning a chimney bat problem will worsen every year without exclusion.
