In reply to the discussion: Is this an omen of how the week is going to go? [View all]LittleGirl
(8,999 posts)36. I lived in a house on lake Winnipesaukee in NH
and a bat flew in from the fire place on New Year's Eve, 1999. I thought I saw it flying around the room that night but figured it was the champagne instead.
The next morning I saw it again. It was hanging upside down on one of the stones on the fireplace. I didn't touch it but my partner, at the time, got it and put it outside. We didn't want the cats to catch it.
Another time, a reddish squirrel ran across the roof of the garage and threw itself off over the head of my partner walking by and hit the ground so hard, it died instantly. My partner didn't know what to make of that. I saw it as a sign to get away from that guy and haven't seen him since 2000. I think it was two good signs that I needed to go.

Our house was built in the late 1700's so we've got nooks and crannies everywhere.

They're important little creatures. I'd just like them to be important outdoors. LOL.

Guess I should have given him the spa treatment before I ejected him. Cute video.

Nah! Bats are cool. We went to BatCon.org and purchased a 100 bat home to control bugs at farm.

The risk is slight, just don't mount on a tree or against the house. Use a pole mount in the open.
