We had some excitement in our house the other night. As my wife and I sat down for the night in our bedroom, and a bat flew around the room three times. Hunting, doors slammed in a vacuum.

We chased him until he drove us into the room in a corner. Landed near the fireplace on a high shelf covered with memorabilia of glass were. I do not dare to attack it with a broom, I had prepared for self-defense. Enveloped by the glass, ourIntruder clinging to the wall.

Then he was gone. Like magic, he just disappeared when we both looked at him. Without glasses, so for me as if he had gone down behind the bookcase.

We finally remove the books from the shelf fragile and pulled it out the wall. We searched every inch of shelves and walls. None BAT. Nothing. A closer examination we found a dime-sized hole in the mortar on the side of the fireplace, where it landed.

The first two or threeTime we saw only the hole, we knew it was too small to be an escape route. We continued our search. None bat to leave and no other option.

OK, is the small hole should be. I filled the hole with epoxy putty, while my wife closed the glass doors on the fireplace with the tape.

We slept with the bedroom door closed at night.

I spent a part of the next day, torch in hand, to explore every inch of the walls of the chimney. I discovered a small holeConnector. These dogs were also passages of heat escape, escape from this winter. Detective trained Energy has asked us to show where heat escapes have been recorded.
