5, only 5.
two years ago standing in front of our home about dusk - I turned and noticed a couple ( take note of the number here) bats coming out from the attic fro under the flashing around our center chimney. Shortly after we had our roof replaced ( by Roger blais - though he is not responsible for wildlife) As a related aside - we had an addition built prior to this.
one evening, within 2 days of replacing the roof, my son showed up in the main house from the addition. "Bats..., "
They obviously could not exit from their normal orifice and were exiting into the addition.
My sons girlfriend ( so much for squeemish females) and I collected 12 bats and liberated then to the outside. Deadliest catch was on - Chris never left his lazy-boy.
The next night, "bats....". we liberated another 13 bats. The following morning there was one more - must have been the one one at the end of the gene poll line.
have not seen one since.
talking with an exterminator between night one and two - there is some problem with eliminating bats at a certain time of year due to the probably of "young"
be glad there were just 5
