Missouri- 2 pups found grounded under roost

May 23

A woman in Warrenton, MO found 2 pups underneath her deck. She has a colony roosting underneath her deck.  She used a glove to gather them up and called us. The hot temperatures likely caused the roost to overheat. We advised hanging the screen the length of the roost and creating a pup catcher, as seen on this link, so that babies who fall can crawl back in on their own. We also advised placing the fallen babies on the net so they could crawl back into the bat house. The pup catcher also allows bats who get overheated to come down and cool off. It’s cheap to make and can save dozens of lives over the summer. The baby bats who had fallen were placed on the net and they crawled back inside the house successfully.
