If you're up to it, you could "relocate" them AFTER you have put up the bat house(s). If you do it during the day, they will ususally climb into the bat house with no problem.
The problem for you will be handling them from the fascia board to the bat house. Leather gloves would be sufficent, but I would be careful regarding any bat parisites (ticks, fleas or mites) that can be transmitted to you in the process.

You could also check with the local humane society for additional help.
