the batman

Perfectly!

It worked perfectly- Phillip Lindhurst even came back to check on the sleeve after we had some bad weather- to make sure everything was in order.  When a determined number of days passed, he returned- removed the sleeve and sealed the entrance. 
I originally had contacted him this Summer, but he told me not to do anything until September- as the bats have young , and it was necessary to wait until all could fly.  He is very knowledgeable about bats, and very reliable.

Phil performed work on our roof line to exclude the bats, returning several times at dusk to check to see if the bats were exiting from the area he had excluded and to validate that they weren't leaving from other points that he had missed.  He also spoke with our roofer about alterations that could be done to our flashing to prevent further entry.  We live in a townhome community and after working on our home he realized that our neighbors, who have a fire wall that is adjacent to ours, also had a bat issue in multiple areas of their roof line - he also worked with them to exclude the bats from their property.  While I hope to not have a bat problem in the future if I did I would not hesitate to call Phil again to exclude them.

He informed me that bats don't usually reside in attics or on stucco houses.  He visually inspected the perimeter of my house looking for signs of bats getting in.  He didn't find any. 
I still feel they may reside in the eves of my home.   We don't have any mosquitos in the area due to their presence (from what I understand bats eat their bodyweight in mosquitos nightly)  I just don't want them to take residence in my house.
He gave me some level of comfort, but I'm still not certain they aren't making a nest in my home. I'm certain that I heard them swarming at dawn right outside the guest bedroom window when I was staying there due to construction in the master bath.

On the phone he sounded professional but after he came to do the work that changed. His work was sloppy and his attitude. He told me "I was paying for his knowledge". The only positive is that he was he did get rid of the bats.

The bats all left and the stuff that he used to seal up the opening and any other possible places they could get in or out was totally invisible.
Mr. Lindhurst was very professional and we would highly recommend him.

The project was somewhat more difficult than it initially appeared to be, partly due to the steepness of the roof and the location of the bats' entry/exit. Phil made a number of visits to the house in order to study the bats and work on the project. I paid him in advance, more or less, and this was not a problem. He repeatedly checked to see whether the bats had left the house, and modified his tactics until he and I were convinced that the bats were gone. Phil appear to loves his work, and he was just great to work with.

Phil was great. He arrived on time and was very professional and helpful. He answered all my questions and offered a lot of advice and expertise on bats. Phil found the likely point of entry for the bats, installed his exclusion device, and then went all around the house locating and sealing off other possible entry points. He returned a few days later as promised and removed the temporary exclusion device and sealed the final gap. Since then, we've had no sign of anymore bats -- it seems they're all gone!
