We had bats in our house one time years ago. That was it for me! We were renting at that time, and I left and never went back. LOL, my husband moved us out with his friends. LOL. I do not like them at all. Eeeek! So I won't be visiting any time soon. LOL, I hope and pray this country turns around. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I'm with you, friend. Praying we can turn back to a wholesome and respectable society, where our grandchildren can learn the importance of developing good character. ♥
Hi Sherry! Oh my you have had your hands full! I'd feel the same way about the bats and the ants! We have lived in our current home 3 1/2 years, located at the base of South Mountain in south central PA. We have chipmunks and rabbits galore! As cute as they both are they do a lot of damage to your flowers and gardens. I've seen two coyotes run through the yard. Just this week a young buck ran through my yard. Black bears do come down off the mountain into the neighborhood but I've never seen one here. And about month ago we had a couple of really cold nights - down in the 40's and we got a mouse in the basement! We have never had one in the house before. It took us about 4 days to catch it. My neighbor catches chipmunks in a live trap and then he takes them to a nearby pond and forest. He actually caught a mouse and a chipmunk together recently. The crazy weather I think can attribute to these odd sightings. You have a lovely home, so you can at least say the bats have good taste! Be well dear friend!
Haha! Your comment about the bats having good taste made me chuckle, Kim! I envy you for your cooler nights. We are so hot here and haven't had a normal winter or spring. Stay careful out there with the wildlife, friend! Sending hugs to you!
A few weeks ago we were in bed watching tv and giving our baby her nighttime bottle when in flew a bat into our bedroom!! It was a crazy storm that night and we had our doors open to try and chase it out. Leaves were blowing all over into our house. It was so wild!! We really weren’t expecting a visitor to come snuggle with us that night 🤣🤣
Oh goodness, ants are bad enough to deal with which we have but bats, wow!!! We had a snake slither through my kitchen out at an old farmhouse! I stomped all around that floor and never saw another one Husband found a whole nest of them outside and took care of them!! 😊
Oh my word Sherry. When I first saw your title I thought you had written another book 🤣. We have had the ants but not to that extent. It creeps me out how they are in a line. If it creeps you out you could put a radio near fire place. We found a snake under the house where the water heater is this week. I’m going to go downstairs and cover the fire place. So glad to see you. Love you sister, marnie
Hi Marnie....If I keep getting visits by creatures, I will have enough material to write my own wildlife encyclopedia! LOL Definitely cover the fire place...and cover your head so nothing creepy can find you! 😂 Sending love to you, friend!!
Omgosh Sherry for years we dealt with those little ants. I had a pest control company here for years spraying outside every four months. After three years it was finally under control. We eliminated any mulch outside, sealed off cracks outside and I do not let anything out on counters. Now, instead of using a pest control company we use terro ant traps which work wonderfully. Thankfully your ant problem is under control now. Listening to this video I could so relate to your frustration.
I am so glad your ant problem is resolved, Michelle, and that you have a way to treat them if a few show up. It was the most difficult pest problem we've ever had in our house. It really can drive you nuts!
LOL Sherry. We had that and we built a fire. We started with a lot of smoke to give them time to leave then we fired that fireplace up. Yes, good things are coming. This nation is going to turn back to God and only good things can come from that.
@@thehomespunwife I just tried to email you and the email was returned saying the email address could not be found. I got the email address from your "About" section in the description. Do you have a new email address? I wanted to share something with you and Vince.😊
@@WNCBlueRidgeBlondie1 I had it correctly listed in one place on my channel but forgot to change it in my "About" Section. I just fixed it though! Its thehomespunwife@yahoo.com Great to hear from you Gale!!
Boy do I have a story!! I have a great sense of smell for 2 years I kept smelling something weird my husband set traps for squirrels and mice lol never caught anything then one night I saw what I thought were birds coming from my roof oh no they were bats !! Found out we had a lg colony of them!!
Yuk...we had a bat between the basement window and plastic we put up. There was a tiny hole in the foundation it squeezed in. My husband is a hvac mechanic so he took freon and froze the bat to get it out. Then while building onto our house we had one fly into the wall and got stuck. Dh had to get that one out. I have ants alot. I had them come through kitchen cabinets, outlets in my walls, under the doors. Then for the first time ever O had big black carpenter ants in the basement. I had an exterminator come spray every tbree months around the house for last two years. Seems to help. Now Im dealing with mice in tbe kitchen which is the grosses thing of all. Usually in winter sometimes we get them but this is first time in summer. Ive lived here for 46 years and never had to deal so much with pests. If I had to listen to bats in the house I would freak out.
Growing up we had bat's on our attic from time to time and yes, once in awhile they would pop in for a visit...eek! I've had ants in a bathroom medicine cabinet b4 also. They were attracted to the children's medicine! Our ant problem was no where near as major as your tho. My only advice is to be grateful for small creatures coming to visit. My sister has a bear coming to her property every now and then and he comes right up by her house...yikes! Nature is wonderful and unpredictable.
Oh Sherry ! Sorry you have been having so much to deal with. I would have the same reaction as you. I have noticed changes in weather here and area we have had bug issues as well . Usually have pest control come once a year. Hope things settle down very soon. I bought your book on kindle yesterday hoping to sit down later and get reading.😊❤️
Yes, I've had an ant problem for 2 years. It's those little bitty tiny ants. Ours was in the kitchen. They came and put bait out on my kitchen counter. I hated that being on there because I don't have very much counter space to begin with. I had to call back 3 times to finally get rid of them. It was nerve-racking, and after about 5 weeks, they were gone. That has happened 2 years in a row. Be glad...if that's possible...that they were in the bathroom and not the kitchen. Food prep and cooking were a nightmare. Nature....hmmmm!!
