Mouse proofing a feed room attached to a duck house, in Flint Hill Virginia. Mice and rats were burrowing under the walls, and using the openings between the siding to access the space.
- The entire enclosed portion of the duck house and feed room will have a dig barrier installed to prevent wildlife from burrowing under the walls.
-A band of metal flashing was installed along the base of the wall in the stall to help with moisture issues, and prevent damage should a cow or horse kick it.
-Rough oak fencing board was used to close off the gaps between the wall boards.

How many bats can you count?

One of our competitor's groundhog dig barriers vs ours. Obviously the "barrier" they installed didn't work! Groundhogs and skunks were able to quickly tear through and undermine the barrier.
We're having to totally tear out the old barrier they installed. It's being replaced with a new one that will actually work, and address the wildlife now living under the home.

Bats are essential for a healthy environment, but they can cause a tremendous amount of damage to your home if they're allowed to access the interior of your home OR allowed to roost in large numbers on the exterior of your home. A few bats roosting near the porch light is no problem, but a colony of 50 living behind your shutters would definitely cause damage to your home.
- The guano/urine mixture they leave is caustic and can damage the wood and plastic surfaces of your home. It also smells horrible, so bad in fact, you'll never forget the smell.
-Bat guano can carry many of the common pathogens found in animal droppings (Salmonella, Leptospira, Escherichia, Streptococcus) but a huge concern is the fungal spore found in bat guano, Histoplasma Capsulatum, that causes the lung disease Histoplasmosis, which can be fatal.

**People will often put off having bats evicted from their home because they incorrectly assume the bats will die, or be unable to find a new home. This may be an issue in some parts of the country, but definitely not an issue in our area. Once evicted from your home, the bats will typically move to another roosting area, they've used previously- You'll still see them flying at night providing free pest control, and fertilizing your lawn, but you won't have them living inside your home!
This is especially true in Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, and surrounding areas, because bats have an abundance of suitable, natural roosting spots (trees, caves, rocky out croppings etc.)
There's no reason to allow them to live inside your home or roost in large numbers on the exterior of your home. It's kind of like thinking the squirrels won't find a new tree in the yard to call home if they're not allowed to live in the attic!

We removed nearly 30 lbs of bat guano from this home in Culpeper County.

BAT BUGS
Bat bugs are parasitic blood-sucking insects that feed primarily on the blood of bats. Bat
bugs are closely related to bed bugs, and are so similar in appearance that they are often mistaken for bed bugs. Microscopic examination is needed to distinguish them. Bat bugs will also bite humans if given the opportunity.
These guys can crawl through air ducts the gaps betwen the drywall and airducts ending up in the living space of the home. I once had a customer who'd spent nearly $20,000 unsuccessful bed bug treatments. Of course the treatments didn't work because they were focusing on the wrong species, in the wrong part of the home.

Mouse proofing a historic home in Washington, Virginia. The original cabin section of this home dates to the 1740's.
Mice were entering the home through openings in the stone chimney and foundation. The openings were sealed using mortar and a dig barrier was installed to prevent mice from burrowing under the stone foundation.

THE BELL IS FIXED!!! It is with a grateful heart we thank all who offered assistance, prayers, and support in fixing our church bell. We were humbled with the outpouring of support from the community and the Christian love on display. We especially wish to thank Will Russel and his wife from Will's Humane Wildlife Removal & Repair for the quick and professional service to reattach the bell mechanism. Will recalled breaking a church bell as a child and jumped at the chance to fix one with his skills. Again thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We are truly blessed. God is good always.
