Histoplasmosis From Bats in your attic - How to stop them from getting in

- Bats can cause a health risk like histoplasmosis that comes from a fungus growing in bat and bird droppings. When bats are done feeding at night they like to roost in warm dark areas throughout the day. You're Roof attic spaces are perfect dark warm areas for them to roost. When they are roosting they typically leave droppings behind. Those droppings could have fungus spores in it and if inhaled could lead to histoplasmosis. If redoing your roof pay close attention to the soffit that comes to the roof deck. Those areas are typically open enough for bats and birds to make their way in. In this video I show a simple way to add a piece of aluminum flashing to block it off. This is a repair that could be done without redoing your entire roof.

histoplasmosis capsulatum - really cool of you to bring a health intelligence when the opportunity presents itself. Kirk Giordano (Giordano Plastering) also spoke about this potentially deadly airborne bacteria as a product of rats, mice & birds around residential areas. in Kirk's situation he spoke about rats & their droppings sequestered in a residential premises. He has a personal account of the deadly health impact spoken to in one of his plastering vids. enjoying the quality of your roofing intelligence in the vids i have selected so far.
Nice tip thanks for sharing more knowledge with us to keep them critters out of our living space.
Clever idea. Thanks for sharing. I will be addressing my dormers using this technique.
That is a great idea my man. Thanks. Necessity is the mother of all invention. You didn't have to rip the soffit out to fix it.
Thats what i call it really good roofer the guy the takes his time to do a good job , no like the other clowns (the faster roofers ) well done bud!
Thanks!
Thanks for showing us!
Brian, the anti-batman!!! Great solution. Thank you.
Lol
This is great. Thanks for sharing
Top job and good idea 👍
Very interesting, there are bats entering house?! Good job
I get rid of bats in my attic by adding a sonar machine, strobe lights cranked up to max, spikes, and trip wires
Pigeons (and probably other birds) also carry histoplasmosis.
Can you do a video on how to wrap and shingle an existing back pan on a chimney
What brand of shingle you recommend that has good warranty? I live in New Jersey.
Not a good job. Why not just actually box off the returns and seal them vs allowing that small bend you make to inevitably fail
That will fail bays will make their way in and i see no exclusion
