A cap should overhang enough to protect the screen from collecting ice, especially if in use like a wood stove etc. Can a Bat squeeze thru 3/8 or 1/2" hardware cloth?

Have any of you actually screened chimney caps small enough to exclude bats? Sounds like I'd need to go 3/8" at most, maybe even 1/4". These are little brown bats. I'm less worried about warranty and most about safety.

My concern was that 1/4" might accumulate creosote and plug up too easily. Anybody have experience there?
