Hired a humane wildlife removal company - do you recognize this device?
Our new member S Boultan needs community opinion on his project on animal conservation. Read his post and if possible help him by replying or sharing it to others who are qualified.
We had a flying squirrel in our house and a local wildlife removal company concluded that we have flying squirrels in our attic (we do hear noises) and that we may have bats (we had been told a year ago that we had bats at the time but the noises stopped). It is important to us to hire a humane company so we went with a local humane wildlife removal company that seems to be a brand new company with no reviews online. They stated they would install a one way flying squirrel excluder as well as a bat cone and seal any potential access points. About a week after the initial installation, we noticed there is still animal noise coming from the attic/ceiling. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of this who can let me know if this device they installed is a bat cone or flying squirrel excluder, or potentially a makeshift device intended for one or both of these? We also noticed that they didn't fix or cover several potential entry points I had pointed out during the initial inspection. I am including photos of those as well - a 3/4 to 1 inch gap in the roofing and a hole in the bricks on the side of the house. I assume flying squirrels and bats could enter through these locations... Can anyone confirm this and let me know any more information about what type of device they installed? We paid about $1400 for this job, which included cleaning what they left in the attic. Does this sound like a fair price for this kind of service? Please let me know if you have any kind of experience with these sorts of things before! Thank you!
