Using a Drone to Inspect a Roof for Squirrel Entry Points
Here is some video from a drone we used to inspect a roof for squirrel entry points, in Arnold California, December 2016. The drone made a difficult job much easier.
A Sky-High Squirrel Exclusion Job
A squirrel was entering a house from a high and difficult-to-reach location, as you an see in these photos. It took quite some time to find this entry point.
In addition, structural damage from rot, woodpeckers, and the squirrel was severely impacting a structural support beam way up there. Photos by Jason Mink, 14 December 2016.

Excluding a Chickaree in Camp Connell
Here are some photos by Jason Mink of a chickaree exclusion setup, for a cabin in Camp Connell. That is a one-way valve in the center; it lets the Douglas squirrel out, but it cannot get back in. 12 December 2016.

Shrew killed in a rat trap
This shrew was attracted to bacon in a rat trap and got caught, an unintended victim. Photo taken 10 December 2016, north of Sonora near Woods Creek, under a house.

Bat Exclusion in Groveland California
Bats were entering near this chimney under a deck in Pine Mountain Lake, Groveland. Jason Mink installed this bat cone to let the bats get out. Later, he returned, removed the cone, and sealed up the entry area.
