M Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 You can't 'get rid of them' - it's an offence to disturb them in any way. They will do absolutely no harm - they eat insects, and their droppings are also harmless. If they are under the eaves, why are they a problem?M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I love watching our bats. I wish we could get some in England to keep the low-flying insects down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoverfrog Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Apparently bats have winter and summer quarters - you don't say if they are with you all the year.We had bats appear in the cellar last spring - the door was delapidated and they just flew in, in numbers! As they don't like to be disturbed they soon found alternative accommodation, as our house had been empty for 2 years before we moved in.I can lend you a noisy teenager - bats don't seem to like Iron Maiden, Motorhead or Nirvana :)As an alternative, try putting the washing machine on warped floorboards - when the whole house shakes they don't like that either! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
