The guano accumulates adjacent to the doorway and gets tracked into the house by pets and people. bats are only on the exterior, none have entered the building. My client wants the bats to hang out somewhere else. I can not make any structural or visual changes to the building. Any suggestions

I install flashing material to the roost area. Paint to match the structure. You have to look hard to see it, especially 20 feet high. Do they prefer the look of bat poop on their patio over color-matched flashing? A physical change is the solution or cure, and not a temporary band-aid. I've probably done 35 exterior roost modifications, and not one person has noticed my work. A quick fix that's basically invisible is to cover the area with clear contact paper (shelf paper) as long as the mounting area will allow adhesion. Ron Scheller
