    I've seen some people mention getting barley for pretty cheap at feed stores so I figured I would see if anyone know of any local ones that sell it. But the online site sells it for 22 rest being shipping so probably a best option unless someone knows a place lol...

    yeah got plenty of bats, though that's probably cause the house is like 80 years old lol. But I always see them in the almost dark leaving the house, still not sure where they get in or out of the house
