Inspectors say they found the bat feces this week in the area right above the ceiling of Ken Lawson's office. Lawson is secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. State legislators in the new state budget ordered that state workers leave the Tallahassee offices where the department is housed. The new budget says no money can be spent on lease payments for the offices, but that provision does not take effect until this summer.

Histoplasmosis
Send in that tough character from Dr. Strangelove, Col. ‘Bat’ Guano.
“This is the Accounting Director. Is Febreeze covered in the State Budget? How about Glade then? Not till next fiscal year? It’s gonna be a long, hot summer then! Baking Soda? We are so beyond anything Baking Soda can do, it’s not funny.”
You seriously think this a a Rubio failure...?
Not going to vote for him, but that’s silly to extrapolate this to him
I thought this thread might interest you.
I learned something here, that bat feces is called guano.
You’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola people!
I agree. That’s like the left blaming Flint water solely on the republican governor when all the local democrat politicians and the EPA share the blame.
Bat guano has a very distinct acrid odor, I’m surprised it got that far before somebody started looking for the source. I worked in an old inn while in college that had a bat problem in a service elevator shaft, repeated eradication and clean ups.
Yeah, that’s just bat-sh!t crazy.
I’m only a few hours from Tallahassee.
I wonder if they’d mind if I came over with a couple of buckets . . .
I use to have a business that serviced grocery stores.
I got a call to an Albertsons in Port St.Lucie, Florida to try to do something about the foot deep bat guano above their produce cooler.
I guess they found access through a small hole in the roof.
The bats were protected so you couldn’t kill em.
We finally smoked em out and closed the hole.
We refused the clean up job on the cooler roof.
Man what a smelly mess, but great fertilizer.
That might be worth some money. It is a SUPER-powerful fertilizer, loaded with phosphorous, etc.
Rubio isn’t the governor. That would be Rick Scott, who’s doing a very good job on many levels, and has nothing to do with bat guano in a local office.
I’m sure the bat guano would have been removed immediately had any bat activity been reported by the civil servants working in the office. Bat infestations are pretty common in Florida and 10 pounds is not a lot (they seem to have very active lower intestinal tracts) but generally people notice something before it gets that far. On the other hand, bats generally fly out after human working hours and return before the next working day, so possibly they wouldn’t have been noticed. Unless they had a daytime bat party, but I believe they’re usually snoozing during the day.
Great minds think alike - that was my first thought, too!
Rubio and Jeb. Hard at work.
Nonetheless, batshit and Rubio just belong together as nouns.
