Subject: After bat proof home- no re-entry possible, 9 dead bats found - rabies?

We counted 150+ bats living in shingles of our lake home.  House was bat 
proofed by experts on Friday (6/24/01) - closed up all opening buts left a 
tunnel system for bats to get out but not back in.  Every evening since, notice 
bats swarming around orignal entrance at time when they usually are leaving the 
nest (9 p.m).  9 dead bats (2 babies, 7 adults) found on deck (4 days from when 
first bat proofed).  Should they be tested for rabies or does this happen when 
their nesting place is taken away?  How long will it take for bats to stop 
trying to get back in?
