I have bats in the belfrey and raccoons in my garage.
Actually, I don't know what a belfrey is, but my neighbor came over last night and said that there are 'bats' coming and going out of my attic. Sick. As I was talking to him, I heard the boys in the background gathering their weapons of choice: machete, air soft gun, dad's William Wallace sword. Don't ask...
So I spent last night doing some research on ridding our humble abode from bats while Jon is living it up in the California sunshine. Dirty dog. Apparently, I'm not in any grave danger right now, so I came to the conclusion that I'll just keep sleeping with the bats and wait for Jon to come home and slay that dragon too.
This morning I woke up to find that there had been raccoons in the garage last night. I guess that's what happens when there is a broken garage window. The raccoons were bound to figure out this new entrance as the cats have already figured it out. The raccoons made a mess of the cat food and dog food.
So today I am going to patch over the garage window to keep out intruders. hoo wee, won't that look perty?! It would be hysterical to see the cats jump up into it after being able to go through it for long!

Bats are sooo cute! I'll trade you your bats for my raccoons in the attic. They've already done $1800 worth of damage to our roof that we had repaired but seems to be leaking again. UGH! My Queendom to have them only in our garage!
Bats are fun. You can throw pebbles up in front of them when they are flying and they dive for them.
OH NO!! You know our bat story. You can only get rid of them not during baby season. They leave their babes to look for food at night and if you seal them out then...well, sad story for the wee bats. The thing that freaked me out is that they nurse. SO ...we waited til we were sure the babies were grown and could leave!! You might be living with them for the summer......
