I've gone Bat **** crazy!

[taxid]

Sealed bats out of my log home last year (or was it the year before?) that were getting in between the chimney and fascia board. May have posted about that here last year or the year before? Anyway, I set it up where they could get out but not back in, and then sealed in all openings with wire mesh and expandable foam. 

After I was done I put up a bat house they can use instead of my house.

Well there's a least a pair in there now judging by the bat droppings under it.

(I have to get up there and trim and paint that foam.)

I put 2 bat houses up out at or place on Erie.
Great way to keep the mosquitos in check.

Yeah they beat the heck out of Purple Martins people rave about.

Scientists have discovered that some small bats can catch up to 1,000 or more small insects in a single hour. A nursing mother bat eats the most – sometimes catching more than 4,000 insects in a night.
