We bought a house two months ago. It's a 1929 bungalow with a clay tile
roof- original. On July 9, 25, and 31 we had bat sightings - one in
basement, two in living room. Turns out what we thought were mouse
droppings in the attic (what house doesn't have mice in the attic?!)
were actually bat droppings. Not like, piles of guano that you see on
the internet - just droppings here and there. At least 3 (but maybe 4,
I've lost count) bat exclusion companies have declined to do the work -
they can't warrantee it due to the nature of the clay tiles. I think our
only option is to get a new roof - one of them even said as much.
In general, does anyone live in a home with a clay tile roof that can
share some experience about having bats in it or about replacing the
roof (tiles are in good condition, it would be subroofing and mortar -
that would now be replaced with foam that would need replacement). Thank
you!
