Bat ID? (1 Viewer)

I live in N. Florida between Alabama border and Panama City Beach and I had some bats fall out of their rocket house. I put them in a shoe box till the night when they all flew off. Can anyone help ID the bats?

The poop smells like cat spray when the wind blows to my house. My neigbor said to put lime on it? Anything I can do to lessen the smell or an I going to have to bury it? I have asthma so I don't even like cutting the grass near it.

Thanks.

The bat conservation in Florida called me and after talking to him on the phone we believe these to be Evening Bats. He didn't recommend any chemical since the bats might not like the smell or fumes. He told me to wear a nice face mask or N95 and shovel the guano away.
