It only takes a very small hole about the size of a dime for bats to get in. The OPs pest plan is correct. A flap is placed outside the exit spot. The bats can push the flap to get out, but can’t push it to return. Once they find a place they like, they can be difficult to get rid of. The house is caulked after they leave.

It’s easy to tell if you have a problem. At dusk a homeowner can see them exit usually at corners where the soffit and roof meet. It will happen like clockwork. Neighbors DO need to be aware. The next easiest spot for them to enter and roost will be taken up as their new home.
