Scott,
Bats are good, they eat probably 3 or 4 ounces of bugs a night each!!! Does anyone have any idea how many misquitos are in an ounce???

FP, thats EXACTLY what I told him.

He needs to get some cheap bat houses and have the bat remover toss a few outside or transplant them to the houses.

One Bat eats 1000 skeeters an hour that adds up to 7000 in there 7 hour feeding time, one bat house can hold 100 bats that is 700,000 skeeters a night just from one bat house. Bats are our friends

We had 1 flying around inside the cabin Sunday night when I was up in Maine. Took me 5 minutes to get it to fly out the door.

I think they are bigger than the normal bat houses, these were being installed by a government agency and looked to be 12 to 18 inches wide to about 2 to 3 feet long it looked to be 1 to 2 inch opening with the whole bottom open. it was on channel 5 this morning news.

You should see how much these things crap every day it's unreal. I can sweep the guano off the floor and 10 min later it's back again. It's like raining bat crap
