The Bat House: When living close to nature brings nature too close
Imagine finding your dream home… a cozy spot, in a beautiful area, and better yet… in your price range. It’s everything you were looking for.
Now imagine moving in… and finding out the walls are literally filled with bat guano.
That happened to one local couple… and their four month old baby. They’re now working to rehome the hundreds of bats that became their roommates overnight.
This story originally aired from our friends at Soundside.
