If I put it up, she might stab me with a spoon while I'm sleeping. Maybe some day she will get over her fear of them enough that we can let them help us remove the other nastiness around.

We hold up a sheet and use it to herd them to the open door. Bats "read" the sheet as a wall and fly away from it. Easier than trying to catch them. We get bats in our farm house.

Oh and we had some flying squirrels too. :) We had a relocation expert help us get them out of the house and then seal it up. Took a whole summer b/c the babies are born in May and we had to wait until they were all gone flying too. They feed on the insects around our creeks nearby and we are so glad they do!

One night a bat flew into my bedroom and woke me up. I couldn't move out of bed because I was frozen with fright, lol! So I screamed for my Dad to come and get it. When I told him there was a bat in my room he laughed and of course said I must be imagining things, it must be an insect. I said, "A bug with a 12 inch wingspan!?!"
