We've done that for years, I luv to float in the water & watch them swoop down & feed. We have a bat house that the city gave us to help with the insects!! Bats are very cool to watch!!

They are! Of course, sometimes you find a dead bat in the pool skimmer. That's not so cool.

My grandpa saw a couple of bats hanging upside down under the awning by the bathroom window up the stairs.
When he yelled at them, they flew away.

Whenever there is a dead animal in the skimmer, part of me always wonders if it were a homicide. Or a baticide.

What is it if there are dead bugs floating on the water?

LOL!
We have a pool, but I've never seen any bats. I've thought about getting a bat box but not sure it would work in L.A.
