Comment on WTF BIT ME?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 hours agoi mean they’re a protected species here. any action you take that it can be proven was intentional to get rid of the bats could technically land you in hot water. if it weren’t for the bat bugs that i just heard about i wouldn’t mind so much because they eat mosquitos and i like anything that eats those fuckers. our neighbor has fake shutters on their backyard windows. bats moved in there. it was fun watching them take off every night. their solution? have some construction in their backyard and oops it needs a jackhammer for 3 godsdamned bullshit months with no fucking days off.

I had a coworker that had bats take up residence in his attic and he wasn’t allow to remove them. That was all fine and well (not really because of the horrific noises) until they gnawed through the drywall and started pouring into his house. I can’t get the image out of my head of him swinging a tennis racket at them as they flew around his living room. It was right out of an 80s comedy except he had to live with the results. In the end, he just moved because he couldn’t do anything else. From that point forward, I decided that I would tell no one about bats if they wormed into my home and would make sure they wanted to leave.
