Bats are seen in this file photo.KIMBALL, Tenn. – The two-year effort to rid a couple of city buildings of a bat infestation has been largely unsuccessful.
In September 2011, the Kimball Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously to pay $3,300 to Lookout Pest Control Inc. in Rossville, Ga., to remove the bats.
A year later, with the bats still hanging around, Lookout Pest Control agreed to waive a $300 annual renewal fee for one year.
Vice Mayor Rex Pesnell said on Thursday that the bats are still there.
“I’ve called, and they haven’t taken care of the problem,” he said. “[The bats] are still in the maintenance department and the fire department.”
