Those giant windmills kill bats by the tens of thousands and the bat reproduction cycle is extraordinairly long. As bats eat mosquitos by the tens of millions so much for mosquito control.

Tyrone was a cat with amazing leaping skills, and the ability to lead a target. Tyrone, when a bat got in the house would wait until the bat swooped low enough, and Tyrone would leap, and come down, with w bat in his mouth. Good thing we kept his rabies shots up to date!SCOTTtheBADGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-80834519669235144782021-09-21T21:03:19.168-07:002021-09-21T21:03:19.168-07:00I hope I didn't offend the OAFS....I hope I didn't offend the OAFS....STxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-24236971670799306302021-09-21T17:29:34.071-07:002021-09-21T17:29:34.071-07:00Wow!

The house was owned by a lady who had MS, and with some pointed encouragement from me, she finally hired a property manager as her ex-husband jut wasn't getting the honey-do list done. So bright and early one morning there is a knock on my front door, and it was the new property manger dude asking if he could get into the attic as he needed to fix the porch roof of the folks who lived downstairs.<br />Sure, not a problem. <br />(So, you had to come up the stairs to a large landing kinda space with a coat closet (no door), a door out onto my front porch, and a door into the apartment proper. The other side of the door was my living room which led back in the building into the dining room with my bedroom off it, and back into the kitchen where my son's bedroom was off of.) So I shut my front door into the apartment to keep my kitty inside, and told him not to let the cat out please if he had to come into the apartment. We went off to work/school. Had a great day.<br />Came home, ate supper, opened the door to the front porch which had screens, and the windows in the bedrooms to help dispel some warmth as it had been 80's, and then the cat goes nuts running around like crazy...WTH?????<br /><br />My son spotted it first as it swooped around his head---sitting under the light over the table---and his Mom the nurse immediately thought Crap!! Rabies!!!! And grabbed a tennis racket. I sent him to his room and to shut the door!! And shut the door to my room as well as I saw it fly back into the front hall. Grabbed the cat, checking the windows in the porch--yup, screens in place--went upstairs into the attic where the screened in window no longer was...It had been removed and NOT replaced.<br /><br />To say I was steamed would be an understatement. I turned on the attic light for a bit, turned off the front hall light, shut that door and stuffed about 3 big beach towels under the door so nothing could come crawling under...and called the number on the business card I had been so helpfully given that morning. I was pretty terse when I explained my displeasure to the answering machine of having bats in my attic because of someone else's craziness and memory lapse in replacing the screen which were designed to keep the bugs and the bats OUTDOORS where they belonged. We had just dealt in the past 5 months with a pneumonia in my severely asthmatic son which had him out of school for 6 weeks due to carelessness on the part of furnace maintenance, and I had been sidelined with a brain tumor which had been removed and was just getting back on my feet, really didn't want to add a go-around of rabies to the wacky medical history, thankyouverymuch getoverhere PDQ and get the darn bat OUTSIDE and put the screen BACK IN!!!<br /><br />At 7:30AM my doorbell rang again, and the property manager dude was back, VERY apologetic, looked all over, didn't find the bat, but put that screen in promptly with me standing right there watching. <br /><br />It must have been a good month before I would open the door to the attic to let the heat rise out of the apartment. <br />Like Beans, 10 feet+ sounds like a good distance in my opinion.

I'd been there a few days when I heard a woman screaming. I went to a nearby trailer and found that a bat had gotten in. I went in took a towel and tossed it over the bat and took it outside. After releasing it, I met my new neighbor Rebecca.
