Hi there,

We bought a 140 year old fieldstone house and did a complete interior renovation. We are on well and septic. The question I have is...there are 2 parts to our house, the brick addition was done in the 80's and the stone part that we renovated. The stone house doesn't have soffit. It has beautiful wood and molding with an air gap. Problem is that the air gap between the wood and the stone is letting in the bats along with major amounts of cluster flies in the fall.

We're having a hard time getting rid of the bats. The peaks are quite high and we tried to put screen on any apparent entry holes with a bottom exit but they are still getting in.

Any ideas so that we can live alone in this house without our little friends?
