Thanks for the quick responses fellas.

The leaf blower would unfortunately not work, they're tucked pretty nicely in there. I tried to reach from inside the attic with a small rake, but unfortunately it just kind of teared the insulation batt without moving it out of the way. Any ideas of something longer with a stronger grasp?

As far as images, this is my rental home and will have to try to make my way over to get images .

I apologize for the HORRIBLE image but this is essentially the issue (except I don't have baffles)

I’m doubtful that anyone would push an insulation batt out that far, since it isn’t insulating anything at that point and it would be moderately difficult to do. How do you know that the insulation is actually in the soffit like that? Typically, you wouldn’t be able to see what you’ve scribbled in yellow. Are you looking up through soffit vents?

Insulation batts are typically 4 feet long. Why can’t you grab the end and haul it back in? What is the roof pitch?

Im guessing maybe they cut it, its not 100% visible to see, but that being said - when looking from inside the attic there is definitely some insulation shoved into the small space you can see between the attic and soffit vent. it isn't blown insulation, you can see it has a paper bottom type, but its thicker than the gap between the attic slope angle entrance that it doesn't just pop right out. The inspector of my home also noted the issue on the inspection report - though he told me the fix would be to just pull it out except its obviously harder than that !

I had a tiny rake I was trying to use, it reached the beginning of the insulation but couldn't get a great grip, just kind of shredded the insulation. Just trying to think of something that has a stronger extended grip
