PITTSFIELD, N.H. --Police in Pittsfield believe they finally have been able to get rid of some unwanted intruders.
Bats have plagued the police station for at least two decades, since the building was a school. The police have tried to shoo them away with brooms, a net and blankets. But last year, they called for backup.
Bat control experts kept the bats away for awhile, but they returned this fall. The bat men came back, too, sealing cracks and building doors that allowed bats out, but not back in. They believe the pests are gone for good.
