Natural Bat Trap

Gold Maven · Aug 8, 2014

I live in old house/log cabin, and every year we have a bat or two find their way inside somehow. They really freak out the wife, and I try to release them unharmed, but this one didn't make it.

It got tangled up in a Fish Hook Cactus. We caught one the same way last fall.

Surprised they would get that disorientated. Poor guy

When sitting on our deck by the pool we watch bats a lot. They'll come flying down and just touch the pool water and then fly off. Yesterday morning there was one clinging to the top step of my wife's pool steps. I got the net and got it out but it died about 2 hrs. later....? :dontknow:

First time in 20 years I've seen a bat in the water.

Now the OP's bat.... that's a nasty way to go!

Yea.... but I elect not to anymore (or much). Just to hot on deck for me. She can sit out there for hours in the sun. I just stand by the slider door inside watching with a cold beer in my hand. I'm not wasting the A/C's coolness.
