Good story Donna. Thanks. I was terrified. If it is the first time and you have no idea what is going on, your mind just races as to your options. Most of the time I was in the house, I didn't know if it were a bat or bird. To be completely honest, I didn't even know bats existed in Maine.
Seems like you could have gotten animal control to take it and move it somewhere else. It is so ironic that you used a hose. While I was waiting for my friend to come over, I started hosing down my garage floor. Yes, I have crusher dust, and no rain gets on it, so it gets powdery. After soaking it, I started squirting the windows trying to scare it.
Now, here is a million to one event. I call Adam (#739 posts on the top right)(my best friend) and relay the story to him. So, he just called me, and has a bat in his room. He had to run out of the room.
Maybe there is something going on right now with bats. The heatwave in Texas may be pushing them north?
Anyone ever see the movie, The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. How any author/director could take a simple concempt and make it absolutely scary is incredible.
