I can not emphasize the importance in having a cleanup or attic restoration done upon the completion of every bat control or removal control . Let me share a recent story from one of my operators who operates in Mankato , Minnesota, Jordan Budenski, Bud's ADC LLC. - Robb Russell, Gainesville Florida "So I got a call for a bat inspection for a house that has had bats for quite some time. The owner just wants to get rid of them. Ok no problem, so I drive an hour to give my inspection, and i find about 13 entry points on the outside of the house mostly all marked with guano. I then then do an inside inspection of the attic, which needs restoration really bad since it is all piled up in bat gauno. As I finish up and start talking to the home owner he goes on and tells me that when he first bought the house he moved a bunch of stuff out of the attic and ended up getting real sick. The customer went to a local doctor withholding the fact that he was around tons of bat guano and that doctor told him he had an upper respiratory infection.The customer then goes back to his home in Arizona, he owns a few homes around the country, and saw another doctor who confirmed he had contracted HISTOPLASMOSIS and that one time in the attic was enough to make him very sick. " Failure to remove bats from your home in a timely manner can cost you money one of the questions often asked by the insurance claims adjuster is how long has your home had a bat problem? The insurance companies are more likely to settle in your favor, pay for a attic restoration if the bat problem is corrected in a reasonable amount of time but letting the problem get worse and out of hand over years often results in your neglect and no coverage for the cleanup of noxious material removed from your home. Finally insurance companies don't have the last say you can also appeal to the state insurance commission and hire a private insurance adjuster for an opinion if you want to settle in court. Most policies don't pay for the removal of rodents and many time insurance companies will tell you a bat is a rodent. Wrong answer bats don't gnaw and don't have teeth that continously grow. The other argument is they don't cover vermin yet by Websters Dictionary vermin are only animals that compete with man and bats are not vermin by the very definition they will use to not cover a clean up.
