And we have bats, leaving droppings over everything in the back of the shop. This was an hour after I cleaned this area up. Frustrating....

So I got the bucket truck out.

Went up to the roof peak...

Admired the view a little...

And did a temporary test block on this opening...I was in a hurry and will replace with screen or expanded metal.

Then I left the big doors open until dusk. Bats were flying around in the rafters. One flew out and others didn’t. Closed the doors then repeated the next evening. Went on a two day trip and....

Ok that didn’t work yet. Plugged the same hole at peak on other end of shop then repeat the doors open until after dusk. Will check it when we return.

While I don’t want to eliminate the bats and prefer they move to one of the old barns here, I also don’t want them dumping all over the vehicles, floor and trailer.

Next up will be trying one or two of these...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DLC8HOO...ing=UTF8&psc=1

And I am way open for ideas!
