So I went to do the bat seal up and exclusion on the house that has been mentioned in my past two blogs. I had discovered some birds nests in the back roof and attic while doing my earlier inspection, so I had to clean those out as well. The back roof is corrugated steel roofing over an extended porch, and the birds had been getting in on the corners. I had to remove the side of the sheeting to remove the nests. The 1st and 3rd sections were jammed packed with nesting materials. I removed a large black garbage bag full of nesting materials from both sections, then put the siding back and sealed up the former entrances they had used.
Then I had to remove the very large nest from the attic. 
As you can see it is right under the attic fan and the red box shows the electrical wiring for the fan covered by powder dry hay and stick nesting materials. If the clients had turned on the fan and 1 tiny spark hit that nest there would have been a instant inferno in the attic! I got the nest removed and the wires cleared of any debris, plus I sealed up the hole the birds had been using. FYI – 1/2 of a large garbage bag to remove the nest from the attic.
Close up of the wires after about half of the nest was removed.
