In the Czech Republic, some tourists were shocked when they discovered more than 250 bats inside their hotel room one morning. They had left the window open and these little creatures flew in while they were sleeping.
In the photographs you can see an animal rescuer and the hotel receptionist trying to capture and release the 256 bats that had settled in the room.
The hotel guests, a couple, were staying at the Art Nouveau Sloven hotel in Pilsen and had left the window open due to the heat.

‘The hallway door was also open, so about 50 bats were hiding in the space between the wall and the ceiling, near the furniture.
‘The receptionist showed us a leaflet in three international languages which said that guests should not leave the windows open because there is a risk of a bat invasion.’But, as you can see, sadly to no avail; It is in vain; It’s in vain. Although the brochure is in each room,
“Even the maid didn’t bother to close the door and windows, so dozens of flying mammals could easily get in.”
He added: “As long as the warm weather lasts, a visit from an uninvited bat is to be expected.
“The moment it gets much colder, the bats will move to other places.” For several years now, Czech authorities have been warning locals about “bat invasions” during the months of August and September.

Pilsen, being on the migratory path of bats, is a regular stop for them.
Last year, between August and September, rescue stations found 1,306 bats in apartments and hotels, according to the Czech Union of Nature Conservationists. To avoid bat invasions, they recommend closing the windows at night, as bats can enter even through open windows.
In Karlovy Vary, last year 400 bats entered a room through an open vent and, sadly, almost half of them died.
Animal rescuer Vilém Babič, who originally aimed to save 100 bats, ended up rescuing four times that number, calling it a disaster. The soprano bat, one of the smallest bats in the Czech Republic, feeds on flying insects and often resides in urban parks, uninsulated panel houses and natural crevices.
