Success Stories

Bat Boy Hits a Home Run Bill Scully uses Tiger Foam to protect infestation, improve insulation and save his customers money. Profile Bill Scully has worked with bats and other mammals for over ten years. Bill, AKA “Billy Bat Boy” Scully holds a Masters degree in biology and is working towards his PHD at the University of Western Ontario. There are few people who can match his in-depth experience as a researcher and field biologist as he has spent much of his time in such exotic remote locations including the rainforests of Guyana, Brazil, Guyana, Costa Rica, Mexico, and India.

When I asked Mr. Scully why bats intrigued him so, he replied
“When volunteering at a research station on the boarder on
Costa Rica and Nicaragua some bat biologists needed some
help and I agreed to offer my assistance. I quickly realized
these were amazing animals and decided that I wanted to learn
more about them. There are over 1200 different species,
ranging from the size of your thumb to bats with a two meter
wing span. They have complex social structures. Most have the
ability to echolocate which is amazing considering they can fly
at high speeds in the dark of night catching something as small
as a mosquito. I learn some new from the bats every day and
still lots more to learn.”

Gaining this great insight into the behavior of bats lead Mr.
Scully to start Billbatboy Enterprises Inc. while living on the
islands of Georgian Bay, and when word got out that there was
a bat biologist in the area, it did not talk long for his business
to take off solving bat infestation problems.

Looking for Improvement
One day, Bill was looking on the internet for a solution that
could be used to replace soiled insulation and also possibly to
help act as a barrier against bat and other mammals from
entering attics and walls. He didn’t know what he would find
but his criteria included a product that was easy to install and
would also have the ability to seal tight areas, which was crucial
for closing up bat entry openings.

Bill stumbled upon Tiger Foam. He quickly placed a call to the
Canadian Distributor and after a few short questions, was
pleased with the possibilities. Rob Irvine, the President of
Tiger Foam Canada claimed that the product would not only be
easy to install and solve Bill’s sealing criteria, but would also
provide a superior insulated R value. To add to the appeal, the
Tiger Foam product was also quite inexpensive so it could be
purchased at reasonable price giving Bill the additional savings
he could pass onto his clients.

Bill was still skeptical, but purchased a few tanks of TigerFoam
to try out on his own residence. After reading the instructions
and placing a few questions to the TigerFoam office, he
experimented with how Tiger foam would stick to surfaces and
the expansion properties of the product. After a short time, he
found that he was able to master the process without any
training and the product did indeed do what Mr. Irvine had
claimed.

Installation with Ease
Bill’s typical procedure entails the initial removal of bat
droppings called Guano. Once safely removed, fungicide and
disinfectant are then applied in a sprayed on method. Any
soiled insulation is then also removed and Bill then uses a
combination of steel wool and Tigerfoam to act as a screening
barrier against his combatants (pun intended), which also
includes rodents and squirrels as well as bats.

“Portability is the key” says Scully. Some of the areas in which
I need to go require a compact toolset and I can’t be lugging
heavy and clumsy equipment.”

During his use of Tiger Foam, the only issues early on was that
Bill mistakenly sealed the wrong areas such as non-insulated
pot lights, an error which Bill is careful not to repeat. He also
has had to make sure that he has a thorough understanding of
the ventilation of attics and crawl spaces since Bill states that
“you do not want to make areas too airtight which can cause
mould and rot issues.”

Billbatboy recommends Tiger Foam to all of his clients as a
portable, economical, and sure way to help solve both
infestations entering man-made structures. He says that with
the increased R value Tiger Foam offers, it makes the solution a
no-brainer. Bill also raves about the company’s service and
points out that they always return calls immediately.
