Bats can make a house stink. My grandfather's house, which is now my aunt's house, has had an active bat colony in the attic for at least 30 years (that I have personally witnessed. It's probably gone on for longer than that.) At dusk you can watch them coming out of various tiny gaps in the siding up near the peak like sand pouring out of a kid's beach toy sieve. You count them until you give up at around 200 or so. I wonder how much bat shit is up there? I hear it's worth good money if you can find the right buyer.
It used to creep me out at night to be lying there, trying to fall asleep, and hearing them rustle around in the walls and ceiling.
