Vinke,
Is that what you were referring to was someone sealing them in?
Have had a handful in the last few years where the homeowner decided the folks
who caused them to have live bats inside (10-40 live bats) managed to find us and call the next
day and I went and cut open exclusion sealants (typically great stuff) and that night hundreds of bats that were trapped
emerged.
Of course in many cases I'm sure the bats do not find a way out and die in the walls, however to your point it would
be considered great job of sealing and poor job of excluding....
Have some pics from this last year at least three places with pups and adult bat skeletons trapped within hardware cloth installed during maternity season and without excluding anything first.
You'd think since everyone loves to talk about bats and risks when talking to clients they would not want to cause homeowners who often had no live bat in the living quarters to wake up after sealing to find a room full of bats....
In a litigious society it wouldn't take a genius lawyer to create a case against an operator who didn't exclude properly and caused his clients to be "exposed" even with low percentages of rabies in wild populations as a whole.
Liability, a word we should all be aware of and be trying to avoid.
Just to be clear not saying accidents don't happen, just saying plenty of cases where that isn't the case...
