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.
