Okay so, here's the plan. Leave them alone until after they migrate for the winter. Seal off all the edges of the shutters and put a couple of bat houses up and see if they use them when they return. In the meantime, I just sprayed out the bottom of the shutters and put about (estimated) five pounds of bat guano into the flower beds. KQ, where they're situated, I can't get a pan underneath them to collect their shit so sprayed out, it is. I like not having the bugs but our porch was getting particularly gross. My wife wasn't happy with it so, clean it up I did. She, incidentally, found a dead bat on the porch this morning. That makes four we've had this year. Not sure what the implication of that is but, if we find another, I think I'll call county health.
