We have bats living in our crawl space in the attic. I have been up there and seen them all huddled together near one of the dormers. We sat outside in the summer and watched at dusk as 17 of them flew out within a matter of minutes. Some have found ways of making it into the house and if your a good tennis player...well, I don't want to offend any animal lovers. All they need is a space, like KTO said, the size of a dime to get in and out. If you think they are nesting there, sit out at dusk in the spring and just stare at your house where you might think they are coming out. Wait an hour or two, make sure they are all out and then go clog up the hole. (duct tape, insulation in a can).
Bats will come back to the same "roosting" place every year. I heard them scratching on my ceiling last night. They crawl under the insulation and go the "bat" room anywhere they want.
Good luck
