Try putting dryer sheets (like Bounce) in a few places around your boat. It does wonders for keeping mice, squirrels, etc. out.

FYI....

Bat Colony Infested Bradenton Apartment; Extermination Illegal
The Associated Press
Published: Jun 26, 2002




BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - Grant Griffin's one-bedroom apartment isn't big enough for him and the bats that have turned up in his shower, sink and sheets.
But it's Griffin that's moving.

Exterminators are not allowed to kill the bats, which are considered native wildlife and can't be trapped or poisoned, said University of Florida assistant professor Mark Hostetler. They can only be killed if they are rabid, which county health officials are testing for after Griffin and his girlfriend discovered bite marks.

"I'm freaked out. I'm about as freaked out as I can get," said Griffin, 49. "I feel like there are things crawling all over me."

Griffin's landlord at Belmont Park put screens above the air conditioning ducts and patched some holes Tuesday after he complained again.

Bats can be locked out of houses by closing up the holes - as small as half an inch - where they enter.

But that isn't possible in now, in the peak of the three-month bat birthing season, because it would prevent mother bats from returning to their babies inside. The babies would die and the stench would be unbearable, said Hostetler.
