Bat Removal Update Email

Bldg. XX Occupants:

Today, 11/13/06, a contractor initiated the process of excluding bats from Bldg. XX. The process will entail the following:

1. The contractor will use a silicone caulk to seal between the roof flashing and the building along the entire perimeter of Bldg. XX. During this step the focus will be on those areas that are not active points of entry for the bats. Due to the size of the building, this step will take 4-5 business days.
2. The contractor will then attach "check valves" over each active point of ingress/egress. The check valves will allow bats to exit but not re-enter. The check valves will remain in place for an additional 5-6 days to ensure all bats have left the building.
3. The contractor will then remove the check valves and seal the openings that were the points of ingress/egress.

The entire exclusion process will take approximately two weeks.

It should be noted that no bats will be harmed during the exclusion process. The bats will not be captured, they will simply fly away and not be allowed to re-enter Bldg. XX.

Please contact me should you have any questions.

Bats are in the building.....may substantially delay work!

I just wanted to share this email that I have received from an Environmental, Health, and Safety Employee from the fine establishment where our team currently resides. We have notified the chair of the sugar daddy committee as well as the big cheese to let them know of the situation and the reason for possible decreased levels of productivity. The email reads as follows:

Bldg. XX Occupants:

As I'm sure you are aware, bats have been observed within the Bldg. XX interior. The Facilities Department is actively seeking a resolution to this problem and it is expected that the process to remove the bats will begin within the next week.

Until such time as the bats have been effectively excluded from Bldg. XX, do not touch any bat that you encounter. Any bat seen within the building should be promptly reported to the Facilities Helpdesk at x5555.

Once the date for the start of the exclusion process has been determined, you will receive another email more clearly informing you of the process. I ask for your continued patience with this issue.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
