Bats in the belfrey .. and basement
Just before the really cold weather hit, a couple of battallions of bats invaded both the attic and basement of our old Edwardian duplex in Hamilton. Dodging them while sorting laundry wasn't as much fun as it sounds. Being new to Hamilton, we only had Homestars to rely on but since it worked so well for us in Toronto, we looked to it again for this problem. That's how we found PPC Services and its owner, Jim Petty, and associate Chris. They came first thing the next day and we set up a mutually agreeable time to stage the attack. Within hours, we were bat-free up and down, plus wired internally so that no more bat refugees could make it into our shelter. The next day, they took on the house's exterior at our request ... wiring and caulking any space (and there were many) that might give entry and that might not have been visible from the inside. Chris and Jim found a few entrances that squirrels had been using as well and wired them up too. None of this was easy; the outside of our house is uncomfortably high. I would certainly recommend Jim and PPC Services highly. They were quick, expert, and very efficient. From batty to batless in 2 days, and with a great guarantee for a no-charge and immediate visit to remedy anything they might have missed ... what more could we want?!
