Excluding Bats from the Ridge Vent in Millstone, NJ
After we successfully removed all the bats from this home in Millstone, NJ, we're going to prevent them from getting back in. The bats were able to infest the home via the ridge vent. A ridge vent is an air exhaust vent installed on the peak of a roof. When installing this vent, an air slot is first cut in the roof deck at the roof's peak. This air slot is then covered by the ridge vent itself. They help to provide continuous, uniform exhaust ventilation at the highest portion of the attic and are designed to help resist wind-driven rain and snow, as well as insect and debris infiltration.
To fix this, we installed Ridge-Guard®. Ridge-Guard® secures and reinforces the ridge vent shingles. Now, not only is the home properly secured from bats, but all nuisance wildlife too!
