Roof Vent and Exhaust Screens

Easy installation (read everything before installing)

• First, make sure that your mosquito netting is still secure (which will prove that you don't have any animals using the vent access at that time). Warning: Failure to make sure that your attic is animal free before securing the vent access can result in some tremendous damage to your home.
• Second, measure the vent size to make sure you purchase the right one. Measure length, width and height. For those of you in snowy climates, you should ask a roofer about the potential that the screens will dam snow and ice. A snow break may need to be added to prevent the screen from being toppled by the ice/snow movement.
• Third, make sure the purchased vent cover fits properly before securing it to the roof. Make sure your screws or nails are long enough to reach the roof's plywood underneath the shingles. These instructions are for asphalt shingles only. We strongly recommend that you consult with a roofer before installation, but this is how industry professionals presently install them. Use roofing cement or exterior silicon and place a nickel size bead at the point where you plan to place the screw. Do the same for the other spots. You want to use at least four screws. Washers may also be necessary to properly grab the screen. Install the screw through the bead of roofing cement etc. Once secure, cover the screw with another bead of roofing cement etc. Do the same with the other screws.
• Fourth, check your attic every few months to make sure that you don't see any water problems. Again we recommend that you consult with a roofer before installing the device. This information is for personal information only and is not warrantied in any way.

Question of Wooden Shingled Roofs

We received one e-mail which asked: "Can roof vent screen to be used on wood shingle roof? "

We didn't know the answer to this excellent question but here are some answers we did get:

• "I think I would avoid nails or screws and try construction adhesive made for metal/wood bonding made by liquid nail trade name."
• "I recommend using 1/2 staple gun staples being careful not to split the shingle. Use clear silicone or liquid nail clear to weatherproof the staples and provide an
  additional bond. I do, however, prefer to repair and screen these vents from the inside.

Now we are NOT sure if either of these answers are correct. We would still strongly suggest consulting with a roofer. If anyone has an aswer to this question, we would love to hear it. Just drop us an e-mail. info@aallanimalcontrol.com.
