Bat exclusion-
Most often bats find their way into homes through cracks and crevices in building materials. Their small size makes it easy for bats to tuck themselves into even the smallest of gaps. They can squeeze through holes as small as a dime.
Bats like to roost in attics because they are hot, safe places to raise their young, called pups. Big brown bats may also use buildings for hibernation in the winter.
Large accumulations of bat guano may harbor histoplasmosis fungi spores, which when inhaled can result in a lung infection referred to as histoplasmosis.
This is a job we just finished up .
Customer complained about bats flying in and out and upon arrival we noticed large amounts of guano on the window sills and the stone work . This indicated bats were roosting in the soffit . Interior inspection showed no signs of bats living in the attic although they had access to it.
We sealed up all the access areas and installed an exclusion device . After 2wks we removed the exclusion device and cleaned up the trim and made sure there wasn’t any access areas and no new guano .
