We decided to take the patio umbrella in for the winter, came home and found 2 tiny brown bats in the garage. First thought they came out of the attic and over night remembered that we brought in the umbrella. so took it out and unwrapped it, thinking the bats were inside so we opened it up and no one was inside, however when putting it back together we found another bat on the outside, inside one of the folds. All Bats were easy to get out of the house with a broom, they are sort of sleeping this time of year.
Now I'm thinking of putting out a bat house, because they eat their weight in insects every night.
BE AWARE!!!
