Purple martinbat’s. Cardinals take care of them at my place plus a couple bats.
No bats in the house?
Over the years I’ve had a few “visitors”....
We are fortunate to have a lot of bats in our area. There is a swamp below our house that goes for a couple of miles. I cannot imagine what the mosquito situation would be like here when it starts getting warm without the bats.
We had a bunch of tall firs die on our property a few years ago. Three of them were between our hangar and the neighbor’s house so I had to climb them and section them down. When I was at about the 75 foot level on one of them I felt something soft under my glove. When I lifted my hand a bat fell all the way to the ground. I climbed down and found it. Fortunately, the ground was soft. The bat was not moving, but I could not tell if it was alive or dead. I put it in a shoe box padded with some moss and placed it on our porch. Eventually it started moving and then it flew off.
When I was stationed in Panama while in the Army, the multi storied barracks on base had tiled roofs that the bats lived in. Every evening like clockwork, the bats would fly out by the tens of thousands then back in at dawn.
