I know 2 people in Melbourne who had all their backyard fruit trees stripped by giant bats.
There must be millions of them living here.

It would be a shame to kill them but what else could they do?


Perhaps Bobby the Bat could Pied Piper them?

Look at the Clown Princess Mothra . . ."save our bats"

What an absolute brain dead fool.



Nope. It's you who is the fool:


Are flying-foxes really in plague proportions?
The papers constantly report that there has been a "population explosion" of bats, and they're in plague proportions; but that is biologically impossible - Click here

Nothing could be further from the truth. Two of the four mainland species of flying-fox are nationally threatened. The decision to list species is based on an assessment by a panel of experts who must prove that numbers have declined over a substantial period. It is unsurprising that flying-foxes have declined, because they have lost large areas of habitat through land clearing, and been killed in large numbers by fruit growers.

Female flying-foxes can only have one young a year, so a population explosion in response to a good season is not possible. Many young do not live to breeding age as they face multiple threats such as predators, extreme weather, food shortages, shooting, barbed wire,and netting entanglements.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Are the bats in plague proportions or are they moving to the city due to land clearing?

Perhaps another factor could be their major predator has switched to eating KFC?

Most mornings I'm up at 5.00am and by 5.30am I'm having a coffee on my driveway while watching dozens of bats flying eastward back to their roosts after a night of noisy rutting and fighting with one another.

With a .22 I could bring dozens of them down every morning, but the laws being as they are, all I'm allowed is a pea-shooter, a catapult, or a potato gun.

Bats poo when they're in flight - never when they're hanging upside down on a branch. If a special strain of palm tree could be developed that causes bats to sh!t themselves with diarrhoea while they're hanging upside down and eating the fruit on these palm trees, it could eradicate them simply by drowning them in their own sh!t.

The CSIRO should get cracking on exploring this idea.

It only needs getting the bats sh!t-faced to solve this problem. If you hung Gregg upside down and fed him nothing but baked beans for a week he would not only look like a Picnic Bar by the end of that time, but he would have drowned in his own excrement.

Thanks good link:


Hendra is a serious virus. Although it is not common, it can kill horses and horses can infect people. But it is easy to prevent. Click here

There is now a vaccine that protects horses from Hendra virus. The virus was first identified in 1996, and in the intervening 17 years, fewer than 90 horses have died: an average of 5 a year. By comparison, the horse-racing industry slaughters an estimated 18,000 perfectly healthy horses every year for financial reasons. Hendra virus is transmitted to humans from horses, not flying-foxes. Queensland Health advises that living near a colony, or having flying-foxes fly overhead or feed in your garden is not a health hazard. Anyone who is bitten or scratched by a flying-fox should immediately seek medical advice as a precaution, More information on Hendra Virus at www.hendrafacts.info.

Herr Bert, Bogarde73, Bobby and other blood-thirsty cretins have again determined that death and extermination is a solution that gladdens their black putrescent hearts.

I would blow some of them up if it was legal.

No way could you wipe them out.

How would you like to have all the fruit trees in
your backyard completely stripped of fruit every year
with bats fighting and squawking all night till the fruit runs out?

Could bringing a few 100s abos over to forage for bushtucker be the answer?

You don't have fruit trees. You have said you live in an apartment.
