Last week we had all sorts of visitors, including welcome ones such as my cousin Jean, her husband Steve, my aunt Barb, and unwelcome ones such as a constant stream of Big Brown House Bats (as opposed to the other variety, Little Brown House Bats). Part of Sunday’s post-dinner entertainment was participating in a Bat Removal. Once our welcome guests left on Monday morning and Carl headed to Madison, my father and I had many chances to perfect our humane Bat Removal techniques. These included using a dust mop to safely trap one on the floor, and a large pitcher to trap one hanging on a lower wall. Father worked the doors and I worked the removal tool, and each bat flew off into the daylight, confused but alive. By Tuesday morning, I’d contacted our pest control firm and signed up for a Bat Eviction. Special one-way doors are installed where the bats are entering. The bats can fly out, but can't get back in. We have now been bat-free for three days and it was well worth the cost!
