    Saw one the other night, and realized I had hardly seen any this summer. Was a regular, even reliable, thing in past years.

    Near Laurel, MD.

    My area of town is so swamped with them they ran out of room in the park and took residence in my house at one point. I had 67 bats inside cavity of walls. Had a company come out and seal the rake of my roof and installed a clear tube for them to exit at dusk. Once they left they couldn't get back in. It was nuts

    Yes here in WV. As for being a flying rat here is a bat fact. Of cours stay away from their guano.

    A single little brown bat (myotis) can eat up to 1000 mosquitoes in a single hour, and is one of the world's longest-lived mammals for its size, with life spans of almost 40 years. Bats are more closely related to humans and other primates than they are to rodents.

    I saw one yesterday at work. It was lost inside the loading dock.
