Excluders on Brick - 09/06/12 12:43 PM
What's the best, easiest and quickest way to attach hardware cloth to brick?
I ran into one yesterday where I was putting up excluders to remove the bats from an attic. One spot where they had been gaining entry was under the edge of a facial board against the brick wall. The top of my excluder was easy enough to attach to the facials board but the bottom was directly against the brick.
Luckily, there were a couple of cracks in the mortar that I was able to get a couple of screws to hold and the screen was tight enough to the brick that it may just hold. But if the cracks had not been present I could have had a real problem.
Short of drilling holes into the home owners brick, how would y'all suggest that I attach my screen or hardware cloth to the next one?
