Orléans homes from the 1970s and 1980s, in Convent Glen, Queenswood Heights and Fallingbrook, are now at the age where roof vents and soffits give way. Raccoons and squirrels are the usual calls.
Houses backing onto green space and the Ottawa River shoreline also see bats. Prevention screening is worth doing on these lots before a problem starts.
One-way door on the entry hole, heavy-gauge screening on vents and roof edges, and a check for kits before anything is sealed.
Find the chewed gaps, install a one-way door, and seal the roof line so squirrels can't chew back in.
Seal the house, fit one-way valves at the exits, and do it only outside the pup season.
Remove contaminated insulation and droppings, sanitize, and re-insulate once the house is sealed.
