Bats as Vermin under CP 10 30

We have a claim where bats entered the property and did not damage anything except damage caused by the dung. The bats have to be removed from the property. The question is, are bats considered vermin, birds, or rodents?

We do not believe the bats' presence in the property is a direct physical loss. If covered, could the dung be considered as multiple occurrences and subject to multiple deductibles?
