Well I have 7 chimneys and removal is $100/bat
Ouch. Can you smoke them out yourself? Or will they come back?
We've not had the chimneys inspected to see if they're safe enough to use.
Do your chimneys not have a damper that you can close?
We do but the chimneys are very old and failing. Going to have them sealed.
Just to throw this out there, but it's good you haven't sealed them yet, so you can clean out the bat droppings. Also Guano is worth money!!! $$$$$$ Mining guano is a $1.4 billion industry.
Well these new pets of mine have practically paid for themselves then!!
He said if I let it dry, it gets airborne and can cause some sort of respiratory disease that I can neither pronounce or spell. I can't be mining that shrimp, I gotta get it out before it dries out.
Patient Zero...zombie apocalypse
It all starts right here right now
We need you to have some sort of flourescent undies on so we can find you when we need to locate you for the cure.
Remember she doesn't wear underwear, see commando thread, so I think she should wear a cape.0 -

Histoplasmosis
This got me thinking what else can bats cause, I am curious about stuff:
From: http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/why-do-bats-transmit-so-many-diseases/
"Bats have a pretty bad reputation, which is not surprising considering the number of pathogens they carry that can infect humans. Rabies, Nipah, Hendra, Ebola and Marburg are all viruses carried by bats that can cause serious disease in humans. Marburg virus and some strains of Ebola virus can kill up to 80-90% of humans infected. Furthermore, most of these are emerging diseases that have rudely burst onto the scene over the past 50 years (although some argue they have been around a lot longer, but weren't diagnosed). But what is causing this rise in viral disease? It turns out that it is just as much their fault as it is ours.
Humans have started creeping into bat territory, especially in the tropics, which has led to an increased risk of contact with these animals. For example, in Malaysia, commercial pig farms were installed in bat inhabited forests which consequently led to the first human outbreak of Nipah, via pigs.
However, it seems that bats also carry more human pathogens than other animals. Why is this? Bats like to live close to one another, snuggling up as they roost, giving plenty of opportunity for pathogens to spread between the bats.
So why don’t these nasty viruses kill off the bats? Scientists think it’s actually thanks to their ability to fly. Flight is hugely costly energy wise, and when a lot of energy is used a lot of waste is consequently produced. To prevent this reactive waste from damaging the bats’ DNA, bats have evolved sophisticated defence mechanisms that conveniently also help to prevent the bats from succumbing to disease.
Now you may be thinking- how do the viruses survive in the bats, then? Once again it’s back to flight. Viruses are totally dependent on the host to replicate, unlike bacteria, and consequently they require quite specific conditions. When bats fly, their internal temperatures are ramped up to around 40oC (104oF), which is too hot for many viruses. This will kill off a lot of the viruses in the bats, leaving only those hardy viruses that have evolved tolerance mechanisms. Unfortunately for us, this also means they can tolerate a burning human fever.
But don’t go hating on bats because of this- they’re incredibly important pollinators and they also eat mosquitoes. You win some, you lose some."

Histoplasmosis
If histoplasmosis gets in your eyes, it can be bad. BUT most people that have it in their eyes never even know it.0 -

No, it's because you are very special )). You should go to your settings and uncheck the things you are not interested in receiving, surveys and anything else0 -
