Yet another housing crisis. The bat house goes down

We thought the foreclosure crisis was bab. Think of the poor bats. Their University of Florida bat house collapsed, apparently a victim of its own popularity. The structure appears to have collapsed under its own weight, according to UF spokesman Steve Orlando. The house was constructed near Lake Alice in 1991 and now holds about 200,000 bats, reports the Gainesville Sun . About 100 bats died in the collapse. Now

these creatures could start appearing in attics and crevices of buildings around town according to Ken Glover, UF’s pest management coordinator. But don’t panic. Bats are good guys. The bat house’s group consumed nearly a ton of live insects each night. In buggy Florida, that’s not a bad thing. Photo: Gainesville Sun More FloriDUH
