Bat Problem Solved

I thought we had a rat problem. It turns out we had a bat hiding between the stone brick and trim just below the roof. After reading many reviews on Homestars, I decided on SWAT. Derick came to my home on time. Since I left droppings in front of the porch, when I went out to meet him, he immediately verified that they were bat droppings. Derick explained that the stone brick and the trim just below roof created a gap where bats can hide. Before discussing options, he checked the attic to make sure no bats entered the interior. Then he laid out the options and made a suggestion as to the best course of action. He was very friendly, patiently answered all questions, and very professional. He did a clean and thorough job placing galvanized steel mesh in all the gaps. While doing this, he heard some noise and said the bat was in the gap at that moment. He made a one way door for the bat to leave but never return. He also placed wired mesh on 13 roof vents so bats will not be able to find any way into the attic (preventative action). After giving the go ahead, I was so fearful that Derick, while installing the mesh may do something to cause a leak. He assured me that he had a lot of experience working on the roof and I had nothing to worry about. The next day, we had a downpour in the evening. I went into the attic to check and there were no signs of leaking. Derick advised me to call them after the bat had left to close the one way door (this service was included in the original price). There were droppings the next morning, but no more after the second day. Instead of calling to close the door right away, I decided to wait until the fall, just to make sure. I called SWAT recently to request the closing of the one way door. Bruce came this time. Again, like Derick, he was very friendly, all smiles, answered all of my questions, and he was very professional. He did a great job closing up the door. He also removed 2 small wasps’ nests just above the second floor windows (very appreciative). I would not hesitate to call SWAT again if I have any more wildlife issues. Thanks guys for an awesome job!
