I removed the entire "flapper" from the vent. It popped out quite easily once I removed the vent cover, fan, and light so I could get my hand in there and remove it. As stated above, it was usually about half open and the wind caused it to close and make noise. I figured if it was half open it wasn't keeping anything out. We've had no bug problems as a result. Trickiest part was being up on the ladder, we have a 10' ceiling in the master bath.
