Posted by agpilot on August 13, 2012 at 20:32:45 from (50.33.3.49):

I was sitting at my computer in my office when a Bat flew past me about 3 feet away. I never had one that close and inside my home before.. So I got up and opened both front and rear doors and turned on all lights. Nothing changed the way the Bat was flying around and around the inside of my home untill I picked up a flat paint stick for stiring paint in a 5 gal pails. I knew Bats use their built in "Radar" nature gave them so I started Fanning the paint stick very fast back & forth using ONLY wrist action. I tried to keep the "Swept" area broadside to the bat so that he got max reflection back from my Fanning paint pattle. Instant responce from the bat. He really did NOT like that fast Fanning paint pattle in front of him. He quickly tried to turn away and fly as far away as he could get.I just kept chasing him toward an open door. It took maybe one minute to get him out side. Try it sometime. I think an electric fan on higher speed might also work. Sioux Falls S.D. TV news reported an increase of Bats around this area of the country bothering people.. Maybe extra dry conditions have reduced their food supply? ( That paint pattle I used is 21 inch by 1 and half wide.) Nice break away from the computer..
I've never seen an airplane maneuver as well as that Bat. He had total control of his flight path.. ag.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
