Bats in Your Attic? Here's What a Professional Finds (London)

A comprehensive bat inspection was completed at this London property after the homeowner reported suspected bat activity inside the attic. The inspection included the exterior roofline, soffits, gable vents, brick transitions, and both attic spaces to identify how bats were entering the home. Multiple construction gaps were discovered where the soffit met the brick, creating long openings large enough for bats to squeeze into the structure. Several gable vents were identified as likely bat entry points. Inspection revealed damaged vent screening, gaps around the vent assemblies, and imperfections in the surrounding brickwork that could allow bats to access the attic. Interior attic inspections confirmed active bat activity, with visible staining around entry points and structural gaps where bats had repeatedly squeezed through. The inspection also identified evidence of mouse activity within the attic, including droppings, nesting tunnels, and multiple rodent travel routes. The findings indicated that a complete bat exclusion would require wildlife-proof gable vent covers, one way doors installed at the active bat entry points, reinforcement of vulnerable soffit gaps, and protection of the attic vents to prevent future wildlife access. The inspection documented every identified entry point and provided the basis for a comprehensive bat exclusion and wildlife-proofing plan. Work was performed by Andrew in London, with a full bat inspection, attic inspection, wildlife assessment, and exclusion plan completed during this visit. #batexclusion #batremoval #wildlifeinspection #wildliferemoval Service in London: https://www.pestcontrollondon.ca/
