Bat removal priced by the hole???

Did a bat inspection over the weekend and the home owner told me he got a quote from another co. (assuming over the phone). He was quoted $60 per hole. Doesn't make sense to me! What do you consider a hole? Is a rotten fascia board a hole? What about a 20' gap on the brick is that one hole or 20? I thoght it was kind of strange when he asked me over the phone what my price per hole is!

Right...who ever quoted that is a rookie...and a joke !
And there are a lot of jokers out there...

That's how I do a est , 40 bucks a hole , then if there's a warped ridge vent i add 100 each or gap along the fascia board add for that , but I'm mostly bidding new custom home that have holes were the roof lines come together , I guess im a rookie at bat work compared to some but I have built hundreds of these homes with my bare hands so I do know exactly how there built and exactly were the holes are, I also offer a 5 year warranty witch has not been a problem , the most problems I run into is pulty built homes they seem to have some strange spots for holes I would have never expected , also ran into a sub that dint attach the back side of the soffit it just floats big problem seeing there's no way to get to it unless I take it down , So this guy could be a rough framer turned bat guy like me and look at it different I guess I'm getting at

So if I only have one hole that bats are getting in, you will do the whole job for $40. What about gas money? Where can I hire a rough framer?

PRICELESS!!!

Know there's never one , I would start with a min of 250 , these things have at least 12 entery points at a min , ridge vent is always warped because its made for 6 pitch roof not 10s and 12s , I average around 200 a hour on these houses

You can't afford me, Paul. But then again, I ain't no rough framer. I'm a former framing CARPENTER.

David, what if I hire a smooth framer? Are they cheaper?

No, but they'll feel softer...

Well witches usually do come with bats....

I got a call today to remove bat houses from the side of a house, and take the bats with me!

I did one of them last year and I got covered in bat bugs or bat ticks ,there were thousands of them things in the bat house , next time I'm going with plastic not hardware cloth

Common house built here in south east mi and this is were the bats are we sent all the scrap down to ohio to build there houses
