The next invader to walk through will leave nice clear footprints showing exactly what path they're taking. | |

| Jul 20, 2022 at 23:57 | comment | added | Classified | @MiG, thanks. One of my neighbors did put some mesh in his openings, which seemed to stop the squirrels but he's still seeing droppings in his attic, which we're guessing are rats since he hears them at night. grrr. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get some mesh too to see if it stops anything. | |
| Jul 20, 2022 at 23:47 | comment | added | MiG | Ah, thanks. I would expect any vents to be evenly spaced and much higher up the roof, but perhaps these do serve the same function and saved cost when your home was built. To keep larger rodents out you could always put in some grating, some chicken wire should do the job if properly secured. If you're able to reach them though. as JACK says, those tiles will probably be difficult to scale (also without causing damage). | |

Do not know much about that type of roof, so there might be a baffle to keep rain/animals out. It does look nicer than roof vents that stick out. | |
