Indiana Bat Removal Recommodations

[hoosierdaddy1976]

We have a bunch here, often see 3 or 4 simultaneously in the evening. Had to remove one from my living room a few weeks ago.

Don't know if it's just me, but I have seen few to none bats in the wild thos season.

Anybody else notice a decline?

Wow, ever since i put up a bat houses 4 years ago, I've got alot around. I think they are around, but they tend to stay near their home when out. Put up a couple more houses and you'll probably get more around to see at night

You could try giving a clown knives and explosives. Only effectivr for a short while and they'll probably come back harder. Works great on robins though.

Lifted my brother in the bucket to top of barn interior. He trapped them in a 30 gal tote and we drove them 15+ miles to release at a foe’s neck of the woods haha

White nose syndrome has been hitting bats hard in Indiana and most other states for years.

The mission was successful!
Chimney chase covers are now secured and calked in.
The good news is that they were never in the attics. That remediation is very expensive.

Some like them some don't... What kind of bat houses did you get??

I made my own. Based on a case type box. It's about 2.5ft long and 18-20" wide. Thickness is around 5" inside. Inside was lined with steel window screen for climbing. The front panels has a 1" gap between them for air flow heat zones. Nothing special about it.

Looks like they are enjoying it. Mine is similar and painted black. A guy down the road was building them. Mine has a ledge on the bottom, so not really easy to see inside and see if any critters are in there.

Does anyone make one powerful enough to be on the clouds?? (at a reasonable cost)

But then I am in an aircraft approach path. Just my luck to get caught, interfering with aircraft with a bat signal.
