3,500 Lbs. of Bat Guano Found in Attic The Associated Press BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. - An upstate New York couple didn't think a few bats in the attic were much of a problem when they were buying a house last summer. Months later, they found out how wrong they were when they discovered more than a ton and a half of bat droppings up there.Nick LaBoda and Jenna Caputo say a home inspector informed them about the bats. They called an exterminator, who told them to wait a while before removing the bats because the babies were too young to fly. Then they forgot about the bats until they smelled a foul odor in January. When they checked the attic, they found dead bats and piles of guano. An exterminator says hundreds of bats had been living in the attic, leaving behind 3,500 pounds of droppings. It cost $25,000 to clean up the mess, and the couple's insurance company wouldn't cover it. They're fighting it out in court.
if i was them, id clean the shit up myself, bag it and sell it. bat guano makes a great refreshing organic drink for the mj plants
That would totally suck. Plus there is the problem with dieing from the Ammonia...which would suck worse
Unfortunately because the inspector told them about it the insurance company has no liability for the removal or any damages. There is a lesson in all of this: dont buy houses that have bats living in them.
oh man i cant imagine how they found the pile of shit...its all hella dark and they want to check out the attic for once, he climbs up there and there's hundreds of bats flying around him and shit everywhere. but i don't blame them for charging $25,000 that would be a bitch to clean out. i wanna see this on Dirty Jobs or something.
They actually had something like this on Dirty Jobs but it wasnt cleaning houses it was a scientist or something who went into bat caves and took info. Tons (literally) of guano all over the ground and thousands of bats plus bugs on the ground eating the guano.
