RE: Living in Luxury Off The Grid - There’s Bats in our Belfry!
Sweet story, thanks @re-engineer! Bats are lovely animals, and their shit is fantastic fertilizer. But too many of them, and it's a pest...
Research warned us that bats are incredibly hard to get rid of once they move in. It was a lot of work to find and plug every tiny hole in our roof and attic. It seems like bats only need the tiniest hole to get in.
The bats coming has made a huge difference in how many biting insects we have though. They must be eating huge numbers of bugs! When we first moved here we spent a lot of time and some money trying to keep from getting bitten to death. Now we need to worry about it when we go into the trees as the afternoon cools down but it isn't at all the problem that it was.
