This is the 30 foot ladder that Daddy used to climb up to the roof of our house. He was going to stop up the bats' entrance hole after they flew out for the night. We all sat outside to watch them leave, so that we would not seal any latecomers up in our wall. We waited and watched, watched and waited. No bats made their appearance. After further bat research, Momma discovered that they hibernate in winter quarters until March, then fly away to other roosts for the summer. Therefore, the bats are gone. It was an answer to prayer, and we did not have to do anything. Daddy is still going to block up the hole so that we won't repeat this experience next year.
