The bat-man came and said that we have three basic colonies of bats... One has about 40 female bats and babies... The other has about 80 females with babies and the third is a male colony of 5 or 6... The good news is that they are not exactly in the attack... They have taken up residency on the screens in the vents... That is a blessing...

He wants to charge us $2000 to put up hardware cloth over the outsides of the vents with a small "bat valve" to allow them in and out until after the babies are old enough (August 1st) and then remove the valves and done...

My thinking is that if I have to wait that long I might as well just wait until the leave for winter and then do it myself and save the dough...

He also wants $400 to clean up around the vents... Heck, a respirator, a shop vac and some shellac and save that dough, too...
