Pest control came but they didn't have a ladder long enough to reach the place they thought our bats were coming in.

We haven't had any more spottings in the church. Our 2 theories are: 1.They're smarter or 2.there were only 12 or so in the church at most and now they're all dead.

Winter is approaching once again as the air is getting colder around us, therefore, I am wondering how things are with your bat situation?

There are no bats or traces of bats so far this year. Of course we haven't had a need for them to hibernate yet because Winter seems to have taken a break from this area. We haven't had any snow--and it's already the 18th of December. Its been only rain and more rain...

I don't think there will be a bat problem even though we didn't do anything this Fall to stop them.

The 15 or so bats that inhabited the church last year probably all died and the one or two that may have made it until Spring probably spread the word about inhospitable our church is for their kind.

Wonderful news Andrew, you will all be relieved.

I guess your church notice board says - All Welcome - except bats!

No bat problem this time?

BTW what is the name of this very pretty flower, used as a graphic @ the top left of the thread ?

I would love to grow them

Just click on this topic link and read all about it:

We had a bat-free winter this time. I kind of miss the creatures. Now is the time of year that they are coming out of their hibernation and young ones are being born.

Did you know that little brown bat females mate with males in the fall, everything stops in winter and in spring the reproductive cylcle starts moving and they produce offspring?

Another wonder of creating regarding hibernation is that bears come out of their caves with almost no muscle loss. If we humans would stay still for a couple of weeks, we'd atrophy terribly--but God made the bears with an ability in their nature that scientist just can't figure out!

The nature of a bear testifies of the Creator.

Any more bat news for us?

Now that we are able to get the discovery series on Sky TV, I see some very interesting animal programs and recently one was on bats.They are very interesting creatures, though I think I would prefer that they stayed in their caves!
