It's become apparent that I quite literally have bats in my belfry. Well...in the attic more specifically. The hubby and I are under a strict "Do not talk about the bats" non sequitur. (That all started when I pulled a pouty face to his suggestion to trap the bats and let them starve to death. "We are NOT killing the bats!" was my resounding response.
Logic in not killing the bats:
1. They are kind of cute (and look like Gizmo to boot).
2. I can't bring myself to kill one of God's creatures (especially not one that eats mosquitoes). (Bugs do NOT count as "God's creatures"...pretty sure...)
3. The dead bats would probably smell.
Therefore, based on some extensive Google research, we will be "excluding" our furry friends from our home and hopefully installing them into a home of their own...(We're not quite sure how many little buggers are up there)...
At the very least, our process will be to:
1. Figure out Bat POE (point of entry).
2. Adhere heavy netting to all POE's, so that bats may fly out, but not back in.
3. Build and instill bat houses for bats to rehome into.
4. Clean attic
Let me know if you or anyone you know is good at "rehoming" bats. No, we will not be killing the bats.
Should be a riot. I'll post pics...
