We've done that for years, I luv to float in the water & watch them swoop down & feed. We have a bat house that the city gave us to help with the insects!! Bats are very cool to watch!!MacPhantom wrote:My grandmother has a pool, and I like going swimming in the evenings because the bats come out just after sunset and swoop down over the water catching bugs and mosquitoes.

Re: Bats in Virginia
They are! Of course, sometimes you find a dead bat in the pool skimmer. That's not so cool.

One of my 'mates collects bat skeletons, don't ask

As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Re: Bats in Virginia
My grandpa saw a couple of bats hanging upside down under the awning by the bathroom window up the stairs. 
When he yelled at them, they flew away.

Re: Bats in Virginia
Whenever there is a dead animal in the skimmer, part of me always wonders if it were a homicide. Or a baticide.

Re: Bats in Virginia
LOL!
We have a pool, but I've never seen any bats. I've thought about getting a bat box but not sure it would work in L.A.
