The condo building I live in is currently dealing with a bat issue. The licenced people who do bta removal really know what they are doing; it is NOT a big deal. The guy was here the other day, reducing the number of entry ways for the bats; when the babies are old enough, he will install one-way gates that will let the bats out, but not back in.

This is another example of uninformed media hype - much ado about NOTHING!

For a 345$ fine each, I'd kill them all. How many can there be? 10? 50?

Suppose there's 50 of them. That makes a 17 250$ fine. That's 3.45% of the condo price.

And btw, bat fece is carcinogen. Any house infested with bats shouldn't be occupied until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

If I were them, I'd be seriously too embarrassed to share this story with the media... I hope they don't intend to resell it anytime soon. What a joke.

wtf.. i've lived here for almost my whole life and have yet to see a single bat.

You've probably mistaken them for birds. if you've ever been down near a beach or in a park around dusk you've almost certainly seen them - they fly a bit like drunken sparrows when they hunt. It took someone to point out to me that they were actually bats before I noticed them, but they're all over - its not hard to spot them if you're looking.

I know of one Realtor who would see this as a selling feature.

The sales pitch would go something along the lines:

â€œDonâ€™t worry about the expense-think of the tax deduction; negative cash flow is part of a formidable financial plan"

A good agent could make this a selling point:

Your very own batcave for only half a million! Formerly an experience reserved only for billionaire playboys, now you too can enjoy the edgy Gothamesque experience of living with creatures of the night.
