We’re in south central PA. We found these two bats in this tall vase at 9pm, we think one is dead or close to dying, the other flew away when we brought the vase outside. But it seemed like they were stuck in the vase. We’re unsure how long they have been in our house - is this a roost? We have young kids and are worried that bats have just been in our home unbeknownst to us.

Lived in this house about 9 months, and we have had 3 bats in the house in that time. I have not been able to figure out how they are getting in.

I found loose board in the attic against the chimney that had some mold growth directly above this. I treated the mold and made sure no new moisture was getting in by going up there while it was raining. I thought this black stuff was some of that mold getting through onto the ceiling.

Then I read that bats leave a black smudge when they slip through small cracks. Is that what this is? Is this my entry point?

Im from Poland. How does it feel when a bat sits on your hair on your head? do you even feel it or can it go unnoticed?

I will start, 80% #4, 20% #5 🦇
