Help – we are being bombed by bats!
We are very lucky to live in an area of Melbourne that has such abundant wildlife. But as nice as it is to see and hear birds, possums, lizards etc it can also be a challenge. We are currently being visited every night by bats and can hear them chattering in the trees and also hear them as the flap their huge wings and fly over the house at night.
But “Houston, we have a problem” they are literally bombing our house with bat poop… it is getting everywhere – on the house, on the pavers, on the driveway and on the cars. I would hate to think what might happen if we left washing on the line overnight!
At first we couldn’t work out what they were after, usually they visit in the warmer months and eat the neighbours fruit on the loquat tree, but its not loquat season? At last we realised they are arriving each night to feast on the berries of a neighbouring lilly pilly tree… the berries are black, so that will give you an idea of the tar like “bombs” that we are being hit with.
Has anyone else experienced an ongoing problem with bats bombing them???? Would love to hear from you.
