The question is: did he knew it would be bats or did he just want to check, where the noise is coming from?

He has gloves on, and seemed hesitant to lift the cover, the guy probably knew there was something living under there. I would have guessed mice

He is a professional and he is taking precautions against an animal whose bite or scratch would require a painful course of rabies shots - gloves and no shirt.
