Bat: To the Bat House!

[@belogical3961]

I live near a lot of bats and they're not many mosquitos around. A couple weeks ago I looked up at my ceiling and a bat was sleeping on it! I have no idea how it got in the house. 😂

[@outis439-A]

be careful

Can ABC Action News provide a link to where to purchase the "Bat House"?

[@joecorrero6763]

you could build a bat apartment complex here and it still wouldn’t put a dent in these damn mosquitoes

[@grumpyguss]

It absolutely would. A single bat house can house up to 50 bats and each bat can eat 1000-2000 mosquitos PER HOUR. Call it 8 hours of night x 2000 mosquitos per hour x 50 bats = 800,000 mosquitos killed in a single night from a single, well-filled bat house.

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

HOW do you get ahold of this guy to get one of his houses?? I'd rather help the small guy out

[@rickkells6474]

I'm in central Florida, and my houses don't ship. There are plenty of sites that sell them. Rural King has a nice house.

[@salahuddinmuhammad9842]

can you ship it to Singapore?

[@Shopnutritional]

Amazon does probably. ow.ly/hPuV304mK2b

i love bats! this is definitely a great reason why i should get and keep a bat as a pet! this vid is a good way to convince my father!!

[@sharoncramer6652]

Where can we order one of his bathouses?

[@justayoutuber1906]

You should NOT use pressure treated wood. The chemical in in will harm the bats

[@r.d.9399]

Bats and insect eating birds are the best thing to stop mosquitoes.

[@Reyiskillingit]

Roku your negAtive thinking isn’t needed. Rather get mosquitoes biting on you with Zika virus? Because that’s the alternative stop being a pussy bats are birds.

[@slow-mo_moonbuggy]

@@Reyiskillingit To be honest, I never have met anyone who got rabies or zika. Your probably not going to meet someone who had coronavirus either.

[@SageDruidd]

@@Reyiskillingit Bats aren't birds pendejo. Totally different order of animals. Oh and fyi they do carry rabies, a lot of them do. The percentages vary by species. I was bit and scratched by a rabid (tested) bat. People have died from just brushing or touching bats, they get infected with rabies. Go ahead and start handling bats with your bare hands if you're so unafraid babosa.

[@SageDruidd]

@@slow-mo_moonbuggy Your comment is beyond ignorant. For one, zika is fucking tame compared to rabies. Secondly you won't usually ever meet someone that had clinical rabies because they would have died in a few days. Is every gen z'er this f'n ignoramus???
