AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young
NO BAT
The weirdest thing happened on the morning of 3-3-26. An agent (wearing a badge and uniform) from a pest control company (name withheld) came to my door to aid in the removal of a bat in my bedroom. She had my name and address correct but the phone number she had was not ours and we had no bat in the bedroom. She left but came back to the house a few minutes later to reverify her information. She said that they were called at 7 am for help with a bat in a bedroom. She returned later in the afternoon to apologize and said that they had finally figured out where the call came from. We learned there are at least 3 Linda Young’s in the area and it was an error on their part. The right one finally got help with her bat problem thank goodness.
