I have to find a way to get rid of a bat infestation in the wall of my house. For the first year we thought it was mice we were hearing in the wall. Lately it sounds like the little bastages are having a frat party in the bathroom wall. I’m not sure how to get rid of them but I know I have to wait a month or two until the juveniles are all old enough to fly. They’re federally protected, which wouldn’t really stop me since they’re in my house, but my wife knows about them and she loves the little demons.
Remind her that rabies kills and rabie shots are nasty. We had a nieghbor at our old house in town. Bat chewed through wall and bit them in their sleep. THEY had zero idea!!!!! What woke them was it flying around in their closed door bedroom. They killed it and imediately called the health department. YES SIR, IT HAD RABIES. The wife had a VERY bad reaction to the rabies shot landing her in the hospital for over a week.
We’re going to be getting rid of them soon. I know they carry rabies and other dangerous bacteria/whatever, but they are very good to have around and I’d prefer not to kill them, especially inside the house. I don’t want to smell decaying bats in the house. I’ve been doing homework on exclusion methods and devices. I’ve even considered building bat-boxes for them to move into once we evict them. They do feast on tons of undesired insects.
Was my thought. And they don’t particularly like light…so some siding or soffit removal or supplemental lighting may dis-incent them from the siding…
Well that was fun staying top floor of the hotel and fire alarms went off, take the stairs people don't smell smoke do not panic smooth is fast relax hold doors keep moving it's fine. just a kitchen fire. Have never evacuated a hotel before that was fun. I still have the incident commander in me simmer folks it's fine just move.
Are the nesting in attic? What we did is get a stick(broomstick) put a nail in the end so the sharp point sticks out, like a trash picker upper. Went the attic, open the door a bit, and stuck them. Worked like a charm
I have a very low tolerance for rodents around my house and zero tolerance for any rodent in my home a bat is a rodent and they defecate within your walls. I would burn the damn house down and start over. I do have a couple bat houses outside for them to live in.
I need to switch to decaf, seems many have conspired to test my patience today! -read the @&$!ing email -if you’re sharing an excel, how bout unpinning that tool bar and shrinking that formula bar so it doesn’t take up the whole screen -ppt has this thing called presentation mode. -no I don’t want to sell my land/house -recruiter, that job role you sent doesn’t match the ask.

****'s sports no longer has anything hunting. They haven't in a while but every time I have to come here it pisses me off Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
Ever wake up and it feels like you got hit by a car while you were sleeping. I woke up when I must have stretched in my sleep double calf cramps tighter than a banjo string. Took the dogs for a walk this morning trying to lube the joints, dang cramps actually pulled muscles.
I feel you. Went to bed last night and it was full with kids. Can’t pick them up with a hurt hand so slept on couch. Feel like I got run over this morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh man leg cramps has been a huge issue for me....electrolytes, MAGNISIUM, and somee potassium, tons of water. Though it's also a symptom of arterial issues depending on where. Mine are thigh to hips. Arterial can be calf and feet.
For some reason my barn has become a home for snakes. Every time I go to grab something off a shelf I almost touch one. I'm getting tired of having to throw away underwear Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
Came home from a weekend away to find out Yellow Jackets had made a hive on the back of my wife's decorative sign next to the front door. I made the mistake of grabbing the sign while the kids were picking up nerf darts, not knowing the nest was there. Got stung at least six times; hand, arm, shoulder, ribs, above the left eye, and neck. A little local swelling this morning around my eye and on the hand, otherwise doing okay. Fortunately, the yellow jackets only went after me and not my seven-year-old who was standing right next to me. That sign is no longer by the front door.
Did you kill them with fire? I don't just spray the nest I light the stream of bee killer on fire to spike down upon thee with furious anger and vegengance.
I made a comment that I could boost sales by 25% if we could ship orders in 4 weeks to the GM. The GM then went to the old man with my challenge. Guess who gets to put together the meetings in the quest for 4 weeks. Guess who does not need a meeting to identify the area of concern (aka the problem) me. Guess who will use the time line of an order and show in every single case where the delays are. One good thing I get to schedule the meetings. I do not allow the traditional catered lunch meeting and after the first meeting only 1/2 hour meetings.
You know it's going to be a long meeting when they tell you bring your toothbrush and pajamas. FWIW, I was in the business world from 1971 to 2009. Only think of one or two that were productive or informative. Sota, hope they do well. My father worked in a place where meetings were constant. What was funny was the meeting where they tried to find out why work wasn't getting done!
