3,500 lbs. of bat guano found in attic

Thu May 3, 9:45 AM ET

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.

Well, if you can't imagine someone NOT getting the reference, does that mean we're (I'm) getting old? :(

Do you realize that movie is 13 years old? Goddamn.

My point exactly...we're old school. When Ace Ventura is a classic movie and Fresh Prince is on Nick at Nite then I feel like a geezer.

Beat me to that one. :sweat:

But yeah, sucks for them. At the same time, though, how the hell do you forget about the fact that you have a bat infestation in your attic?

Forgetting is the excuse procastinators use when they accidently put something off until past the "Uhoh we're fucked" stage.

Seriously, Taco Bell is possibly the greatest laxative in the history of mankind. Why people pay money for those from pharmacies baffles me, just go get your lunch at the border and you will be cleaned out 45 min - 1 hour later GUARANTEED!!

Seems too much for such small things.

Sounds more like Batman lived near and he went there to take a dump when he got out of bars drunk. For a year.
