What is Bat-Proofing?

Bat-proofing involves structural modifications to prevent bats from accessing a building. This includes sealing gaps, installing screens over vents, adding chimney caps, reinforcing soffits, and addressing other potential entry points. Unlike exclusion which removes existing bats, proofing focuses on prevention - keeping bats from entering in the first place. Proofing is especially important for properties with a history of bat problems or those located in high-risk areas.
