I have a strong odor in the kitchen–like a rats nest–the odor is strongest near the floor. From the crawI space, I have seen bats entering thru a small opening under the kitchen floor. The floor joists are sealed on the bottom with plywood sheeting. Any advice how to find them and how to get rid of them?

Wait until night time and then seal up the hole with wire mesh.
