4 Essential Equipment When Excluding Bats
You should never bother in hiring exterminators that are not adept in handling bat problems. The most effective way to deal with the bat infestation is through home modification. Lethal methods, repellents, and machine deterrents are not effective in keeping them away. The use of toxic chemicals against bats is illegal and can lead to legal troubles.
Tools and Equipment Needed when Excluding Bats
To ensure that the exclusion method will be a success, there are some tools and equipment that you will need to prepare. Effectively excluding the bats will involve a systematic process that needs special equipment.
1. Tools and Equipment for Site Survey
Before excluding the bats, a site survey will have to be completed to determine how the bats are going in and out of the house. You will need a ladder to access the higher part of the house. You should also use a ladder hook that allows you to attach the ladder to the roof line. A harness will also be necessary to prevent any injury from falling. You should also prepare a head lamp when going through dark and obscure areas. It is recommended to record your assessment. You can use your smartphone to take a picture of the damaged areas in your house.
2. Tools for Repairing the Damage
Once the site survey has been completed, it is now time for you to repair the damages that the bats are using as potential entry points. The cost of repairing your house can vary. Usually the average cost will be around $800-$3000. You will have to prepare the appropriate sealing materials. Avoid using chicken wires since it will give the bat with an opportunity to roost. Steel plate, caulking materials, bricks, woods, etc. are all excellent materials. If you are using a caulk, you will need a caulk gun. In case you are using screen, you will need to cover it with caulk or expanding foam.
3. Exclusion Device
After repairing the damages, it is now time for you to install the exclusion device. Look for a device that is especially made for bats. It should enable them to flap their wings and will not cause damage on their membrane. After 2 weeks and there are no longer signs of bats, you may remove the exclusion device and seal the remaining hole.
4. Bat House
Bats are actually beneficial when they are in their natural environment. They can help in managing the population of pests that destroy crops and transmit diseases. To provide them an alternative roosting place, you should consider installing bat house away from your house. Having a bat house will reduce the probability of experiencing a conflict with bats.
Bats exclusion should be left in the hand of the professionals. This is because it involves working on heights and you will always be in close contact with the creature. Let's assume that you have prepared all the necessary equipment and tools, if you do not have the knowledge to understand the behavior of bats, excluding them can be daunting.
