Bats in the belfry
Discussion
Well, not a belfry, nor a standard type of house since there is no loft (we have a mezzanine) but we are invaded by the little critters, and the worst of it is that they have found their way in to the roof but worse into the house and their dropping are to be found here and there. Nor very pleasant. Now We've tried keeping them out but they are so tiny that the slightest crack suffices, so we rang our local county council here in France. No, we can't exterminate since they are protected, but their advice is simply to mastic everywhere now winter is coming and shut the blighters in completely. Now where I ask you, is the logic in permitting them die of hunger and thirst but not killing them humanely? I've tried speaking to a few exterminators on the quiet but they won't, even on the black, do the job since they risk severe penalties, so the mastic it is. I'm not at ease with it, but then I don't want the house full of s
t neither.
