Bats...

Exactly, Thank you!

FYI, if a bat is roaming around in the daytime hours or having big trouble flying (and it's not raining or you are not near the cave nest at baby first flight time) that's when you need to be wary.

HA! I got a call on a bat that was having trouble flying, so I went to go get him. Turns out, it was a her, and she had four nearly full sized babies clinging to her! I would have trouble flying too!

I love bats too but smart enough not to mess with them. We would open all doors to get them out of the house. We had to turn the TV on mute because hubby said it may have been confused with the echo signals, that it was not able to detect the openings of the doors. I do not know if that is true but our house is old and has smaller rooms than normal modern day homes have.

It stumped me still how it got in. I don't see any bats flying out of our house, thought it would be the eaves of our house but nothing came out of it at dusk. The only two things bats are getting in our house, are the chimney (already had a cap on it) or coming in while daughter came in from playing outside. Why of all places must they come in the house?!

Daughter was upset because we could not keep that bat as a pet. I told her they are best as wild animals and treated like such and respect them for being wild to catch mosquitoes and insects that we don't like.

Wow. We have bats here too but they're teeny tiny. I like them also, I think they're cute. But people associate bats with rabies, so people tend to kill them around here.

It makes me sad because years ago we would have dozens of bats flying around our house at night eating bugs from our lamp. Now it's rare to catch a glimpse of one or two bats per summer. It's very sad.
