Bats, everywhere!

Is there some way they have gotten in your attic and can come through a vent. That happened one time at my house. We were gone but my son was here and put it outside.

That is one thing that I am definitely able to say that we've never had to get into our house. However, not too long after we moved into the house, there was a bird that somehow found its way down our chimney and ended up on our fireplace. I really didn't know what to do because I didn't want to open up the screen and run the risk of having the bird flying wild through our house. Finally, I was able to trap it in a cereal box and take it outside where I let the poor little thing free.

There must be a breach in your roof through which the bats are entering your house. I would do a thorough inspection of your house and block any entry points that may be allowing the bats inside.

I thought that all your pets will like to play and chasing after it but there are some who fear of it.(^^) We don't have bats here and if we have I will be the one who will feel unease and will get rid of them at that time.(^^)

Hi just this past saturday my girl friend had a bat flying in her apt it a attic apt I think one of cats losen the screen so it would come in, the cat that 2yr old started chasing it then went and hid under the bed the black cat i think he was smileing he wanted but did not know how to get it I do not have experince chasing bats so i call the police dept and ask them they sent the fire dept. the bat was tired of flying around it only took the fire guys a second to catch it and let it lose and here a funny think to think about my girl friends middle name is Robin no joke .

how did those things rise up eventually leading to so much panic.may be its because that place might not have been used for long time leading to dungeons and some bat becoming habituated.so try to clean up those areas often so you live in a peace environment .they can trouble you at time spreading infections also

I agree with GardenGerty. Someone should check out your attic. When I live in Iowa several years ago, many of the old houses had problems with baths getting into the attic because of the architecture style.

I remember when I'm still in the big city I always saw the one bat flying over the trees I think he leaves there. Everybody was scared and talking about Drakula the bat came out every 12am that's why they assume it was. But here in my town I never saw one.

Bats are like mice, if they can get their head through a hole, they can get the rest of their body in. They will infest an attic and are a horrible health hazard from their feces. Plus there is a debate about whether they carry rabies or not...but they can carry other diseases. People can get extremely ill and die from the bat feces and diseases that are carried by them. I am glad the cats had fun chasing the bats, but for your safety you do need to investigate WHERE they are coming in. A piece of screening will work to control their entering the house providing that there is a hole that they are coming in through. The screen needs to be nailed or stapled so it covers the hole. The best time to do that is at dusk when they leave the spot they are living in.

that would really creep me out. i know they are cute and some wont bother you but ive heard they can get tangled in your hair. and there are some vampire bats that will bite. also they can carry rabies like anything else wild. one lady i worked for used to have one out by her porch light and if you walked out there and turned on the light, it would fly away. i heard they dont like light.

Oh my gosh! Well, at least the cats are having fun. One time, we had a baby flying squirrel get inside the house, and we never figured out how. The cat cornered it, but absolutely REFUSED to get within two feet of it. She had the poor little baby terrified too. Eventually, we got him wrangled into a trash can (without a bag in it, of course), and put it outside. He climbed out within a few minutes, and we re-claimed our trash can. Since then, two more and a baby black snake found their way in. We've moved out of the house since. (Not because of the animals, of course.)

i looked bats when i was a kid..but long time now on, i don't see any bats at all. I think i live in city and bats don't like city, that's why i can't see any bat around here.

Wow that's really weird. Wonder why they like your particular house so much. Hmm, do you fry a lot of food? Maybe they are attracted to the smell. I never heard of this. I love bats, just not in the house ha ha. I think they are so cool. When I see one I'm like look look a bat! Ha ha. They're fascinating to me.
