This Was Bat Number 8

He just wants a hug!
This Was Bat Number 8 by Zeusandhera.
This is day 8 of my family's attempt to get the bats out of our house. We put escape chutes on the outside of our house so they can get out but not back in. So instead of going through that the bats decided to go another way, into our house! So we've been using a bug catching net to scoop the little guys off our walls and even catching them in mid air. This little bugger was actually the 8th bat I was able to catch this month. I released it outside and after it jumped off the net it fell on it's back and was quite cranky.

Oh boy can I relate! Had them critters flying around the house for too long. Finally called Ben Vaughan of Bat Control Specialists from London Ontario... Haven't seen a bat since!

Thought about setting up a bat house nearby? For them, it is also their home :)

We already have a bat house, we just so happen to have dozens of holes in our house because it's 130 years old. This year wasn't actually as bad though because we patched up the more of the holes.

Cool, then all you need is to flip the house and make it attractive to them :)
After a 130 years though they may have a good case in court.
Tracy's link has an interesting design since it is attached to the structure mimicking the house... perhaps something along those lines... g'luck.
Mine just come for the papayas... they do not want to move in, just eat.

Poor little guys, after all that flying they need to rest somewhere :(
