We have bats living in our attic :( I think they plan on hibernating there this winter . Does anyone have any suggestions for eviction? Or can you recommend a local pest control company? I don't want them killed, just relocated?

pest control will not kill them, they are protected in some way. What they will do (and you can as well) is inspect and close all openings that they can get into, but they will keep the one opening they primarily enter/exit from open. On that opening they will put a bat funnel or some netting. This will allow the bats to safely exit, but they cannot get back in. Once it seems clear, you seal up that last hole. You may want to install some bat boxes around your home too, give them a friendly place to spend their days so they can hang around your place and continue to eat insects. http://www.wildlife-removal.com/batinstructions.htm
