Bats in My Belfry - EEK

[Skierchickie]

I want to know how you guys are getting bats in your houses?

Personally, I live in a log house. Log houses = nooks & crannies. We can't find where they get in. The whole thing has been caulked, but that doesn't mean there isn't ANY access. Once there was one in the stove pipe, other times they've gotten in by way of the space under the trim over the windows (they have to leave a space to allow for settling). The gaps over the windows & doors have now all been filled with Great Stuff, since most of the settling is done. Anyway, there are a zillion ways for them to get into my house. They get into a nook, and then go the wrong way and come into the house instead of going outdoors.

Our house is about 90. The nooks and crannies have nooks and crannies.

We bought a bird net at a pet store - got pretty good at swooping them up in the net, and taking them outside.
On a rafting trip a number of years ago, we didn't bother to set up the tent and slept under the stars. Morning 1 - woke up when a frog landed splat on my cheek. There were thousands of them, all about 1" in diameter and hopping everywhere. That was freaky and neat.
Night 2 - woke up to see giant butterflies hovering everywhere in the middle of the night. I quickly realized there were dozens of bats instead. That was freaky and neat.
