These Beachwood homeowners had a colony, or cloud, of bats nesting in their attic for quite a while. Although there was no longer an active bat infestation. the bats left behind a toxic mess of guano (bat droppings). Although bats are individually small creatures, bat colonies can be quite large, containing hundreds of bats. Because of their numbers, large quantities of guano can quickly accumulate.

We also located the access points and wildlife-proofed the attic to exclude any more squirrels, or other wildlife that may be tempted to use this cozy Beachwood attic for nesting and as a refuge from the outdoor elements. Repairing wildlife damage is an expensive headache for homeowners and we wanted to do everything we could while there to prevent another wildlife infestation from happening again.
