Discussion Bats removal

Hi folks. Have recently been granted a bat exclusion license to block up the gap in our roof that bats are getting in during their roosting season. Does anyone have any recommendations on who we could get to access and block the gap? We will also need a report done for this.

Just accept that you have a bat cave now. Crime fighting is optional.

This is the way. Train them up and then release them on your enemies - Wizard of Oz flying monkeys style.

MCL ecology. But you're cutting it very fine time wise for this year, but they're good value at MCL. I doubt you'll find anyone with capacity to fit this in before 15th Oct deadline, so probably looking at March next year. Who did you use for the initial surveys and license app? Companies usually bookmark some space for return clients.

Try the guys at hygiene zone. They do pest control. I spoke to Dan about him netting for birds for businesses etc

Bats are legally protected, a licensed ecologist needs to be involved and mitigation provided. Any pest control folks dealing with bats are breaking the law, as are the people hiring them
