We get lots of little pipistrelle bats flying around the house, but there are no windows or doors open by the time they arrive, far too chilly in the evenings.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-12724510062116148792013-06-15T23:05:05.975-05:002013-06-15T23:05:05.975-05:00Definately a crazy night at your place..I am not n...Definately a crazy night at your place..I am not nuts for bats, snakes, rats, mice...well much of those kinds of critters. :)Andeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650632212794638703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-75530243508910794812013-06-15T11:19:37.617-05:002013-06-15T11:19:37.617-05:00The quilt would have been OVER my head, not up to ...The quilt would have been OVER my head, not up to my chin! Luckily we haven't had any, (knock on wood!) in the new house! At our old house we got them a couple times a year. We had a cat that we'd get in the room, she'd have it in a minute or less most of the time! After she died we bought cheap tennis rackets....Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281663366690542440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-6024135635931411292013-06-15T10:49:03.826-05:002013-06-15T10:49:03.826-05:00O!M!G!

So glad he didn't pick up up and pack you off!!

I too can wake up at the first sound. <br /><br />My husband has come home to all of the lights on in the house, in his words "light up like a Christmas tree".<br /><br />A tennis racket or oven rack work very welll to get rid of them.<br /><br />It is hard to find all of the areas that they can come in. After roofing, siding and window replacement we found the last spot and that was the chimney.<br /><br />Good luck<br />PB in MNPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07951593806288426670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-10162584795071745312013-06-15T07:03:17.167-05:002013-06-15T07:03:17.167-05:00Batty experience - I was thinking quilt batting!

I remember my Dad saying - just cover your heads and go back to sleep when a bat got in out at camp. 3/4 ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms and he'd be going around with a broom trying to get it out of the house.... then I got to thinking of the movie 'The Great Outdoors' with John Candy from Ellen's comment with the helmet. <br />Just think of it as a bird that fly's at night.
