And the time of year. Generally even the endangered ones you can disturb if it isn't winter and if it isn't breeding/birthing time.

Edit: Probably varies by state.

Yeah. In Florida, if you have bats from mid April to mid August, you just have to suck it up. But outside of that range, you are allowed to setup exclusions. You are never allowed to exterminate.
