New house (built 11/2020) bathroom vent to an outside wall, has the hood and the circular flapper but NO bird/bug grid guard on the bottom of the exhaust hood.
Currently have a birds nest inside the vent tubing. See the bird coming and going, vent flapper does not fit tight so bird wedges it way in and lives in the Hilton
Question...........isn't there a building code that requires a guard on the vent hood to prevent entry? There are 5 exhaust vents on the house that do not have pest guards on the exhaust.
Building code guy will be called tomorrow. A wildlife control company want $700 bucks to remove the birds nest and fix. How about a leaf blower in the other end of the exhaust vent duct and wooooof bird is launched. Thanks for comments
