When we lived in CT we had the outside of our home painted. The painter removed the shutters and discovered bats living in all of them. This explained a lot. At night when we went out on the balcony the sky was filled with tons of bats. It looked like something you would see on one of those old scary movies. We opted not to put the shutters back and the bats moved on.
I read an article a long time ago about a lady who was getting them in her house. It's a long story but she was renting and told her landlord she had to move. He understood and had done everything he could think of to get rid of the bats. As a last ditch effort he put an owl statue in the yard. That did the trick. The bats left.
It wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion about the bats from a different exterminator and find out what they have to say.
