More than once I could hear their batwings fluttering, and their sonar "chirp," and feel them just brush past my face or hair. It took a lot of internal fortitude to not attempt to wave them off with my hands!!! Of course they "see" better than I do in the dark, but I wonder if they feel any sense of horror at making contact with us??Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265922352726668243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-90433571661849645692010-03-03T17:34:30.164-05:002010-03-03T17:34:30.164-05:00Bob - YIKES!!

I'd be curious to know how you got rid of them but more importantly, how did they get <i>in???</i><br /><br />I had a new cap put on my chimney after Bat #2, which was probably 19-20 years ago. I'm freaked out wondering how this little fellow got in...and if he has a direct route to my bedroom. {{{shudder}}}La Cootinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802335116295420730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-88152255143446162432010-03-03T12:28:23.633-05:002010-03-03T12:28:23.633-05:00Do you have a belfry?

(spoiler alert) I was relieved to read it was the bat and not the boyfriend in that large vase! ;o) My Sophie dog was just as yella. She scared the heck out of strangers with her barking and protectiveness(I've had take-out delivery guys run for their lives) but she was as lily-livered as they come behind all that ferociousness.tim's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605449376728668764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687309633062655086.post-55802743341016665762010-03-02T18:44:35.207-05:002010-03-02T18:44:35.207-05:00Your story hit quite a nerve with me!

On July 4, 2000, we were at a neighborhood picnic...my wife stayed late (party animal), but my six year-old kid and I headed home at around 8PM..dusk. When we opened the door of our beautiful little A-frame house, we found at least fifty (maybe 100) bats flying around in a circle, right in the living room! I won't bore you with the details of how we got rid of them, but it was quite a night. And our little "bat party" resulted in a summer's worth of rabies shots for the whole family! On the bright side...they DO eat a lot of bugs!<br /><br />- Bob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
