The company’s owner, Dave Pentecost, estimates he has done more than a dozen interviews provincially and nationally since news of the infestation broke. He said the response has been positive, but it definitely increased action on his phone line. For several weeks, he assigned his son to field media calls and respond to increased demand for the company’s services. Pentecost, who has been in the roofing business for 20 years, was assigned the task of removing the bats based on his qualifications as a certified bat extractor. He travelled to the United States and took courses to earn that designation. Bat removal has been a significant component of the business operated by Pentecost and his son Seth for the past seven years.
