I'll have to check the shutters. Any signs of their existence if they're not actually present?

I have an ornamental pear tree in my front yard which has a lawn swing under it. The bats were gone for a year or so, and just showed back up a few nights ago. That seems to be the only tree they care about. As long as they don't bother me, I won't bother them.

If you have bats living in or on your house odds are you'll smell bat shite and piss. If you don't they are probably roosting elsewhere.


Also, what kind of bugs it is eating depends on what kind of bat it is. The smaller bats will eat mosquitoes but most bats actually eat moths and other larger bugs. Even then, while small bats will eat mosquitoes they end up only being a small part of the bat's diet. This is mostly due to the fact that mosquitoes don't really swarm which makes it difficult for bats to focus on them.

nope, my shutters were the screwed-to-the-brick style and somehow they managed to get behind them.

when i pulled them off they were still sleeping and later when i went to gather up all the shutters they were gone.
