You really do want them around as stated above. I know the crap can make a mess so before you send them to your neighbors house with the moth balls, give them a place to go that will keep them on your property.
Back when I nailed up siding for a living, we would always find them where the two rake (trim) boards meet at the peak.
You would go to install the last piece of siding and a bat would fly out in your face. It is the highest piece of siding so 9 time out of 10 we were over extending our reach or on a ladder off of the scaffolding. Those damn thing made me miss a couple of heartbeats thru the years.
