Re: [RC] off topic--How to make Bats move? - Karla Watson
That article was great! Ok, so what I have are a
bunch of loud babies. So I will wait it out until Fall when every one is able to
fly away and then close off this nest. I'll probably hang bat houses nearby for
them to come back to. Somehow this nest just echos into my house--probably from
my chimney. Thanks for the great info Heidi!
The problem is...they don't all leave at the
same time. We have observed them and several stay there, while others go
hunt. We also know that since we can constantly hear them come and go and
hear the others in the spot too. So we would love to put up a bat house (we
have bought some) but can't think of how to get them all out of there at
ONCE. Any suggestions?? I heard you can play loud rock music and they will
flee. We have tried banging on the wall near them but that just makes them
squeek louder. ---Karla

Hi Karla: You can build a substitute Bat house for them. They are
small and do not take up a lot of space. Their are certain rules for the
placement of the New structure, that should be on the web. Then you can
normally find the entrance and exist points and check when the Bat's leave
to eat the West Nile mosquito's and other critters and just block the
entrances and exists. There may be a local person who is licensed in the
handling and helping bat's that may assist you.
I have bats living between my house and
fireplace outside. I do love bats and do not want to hurt them or kill
them. They are GOOD for keeping bug population down. But they are LOUD
and I can hear them constantly in my living room, especially at night.
Any ideas on having them move to another locale?? -----Karla
