EAGLE PASS -- On Jan. 13, 2014, a number of bats were discovered on-campus at Eagle Pass High School.

Classes were immediately canceled following the find.

Last Friday, administrators released a statement to announce it had contacted the Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate the High School. It said Commercial Bat Control would visit the campus Monday, Jan. 20.

"These professionals will thoroughly inspect the building for points of entry, seal off any areas that are found, and mount 'Bat Excluders' on the exit openings," the press release read.

But the abatement took longer than usual because workers inadvertently sealed off a roof prior to the removal process.

Roberto Garza, with Border Pest Control, said his workers attempted to use a flushing agent to remove the bats, but it only pushed the bats into other parts of the building.
