I would think it is processed and presented much the same as the chicken poo pellets. That is a bit of a guess though.Happy Gardening,

I think I read somewhere that it really really stinks - so maybe the theory to using it as a fertiliser is that it scares the plants out of the soil

Looks a bit like mouse poo from that pic. We had pipistrelles this year so I'll look out for the poo!

(Check its not rodent droppings - post taken from the WildaboutBritain forum)...Originally posted by SueALooks a bit like mouse poo from that pic. We had pipistrelles this year so I'll look out for the poo!The droppings appear very similar but the Bat dropping is dry and
crumbles easily being only the chitenous parts of insects

It looks about the size of mouse droppings but is totally dry to the touch. It doesn't smell at all. I speak as someone whose son (PhantomVeg) is a licensed bat handler and we've house bats in the living room (in bat boxes!) and kept them for several weeks until their injuries healed. They are lovely little things, like flying teddy bears.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Oh yes, I feel lucky to have handled them. However, the down side is that you feed them on live mealworms. A bat box has an enclosed side box and a bigger bit with a mesh front (they hang upside down on it - dead cute!) and if you merely pop the mealworms in they escape.
The answer is to behead the mealworms - they are then demolished in short order by hungry bat. Our lad (and all REAL bat handlers) just nip the heads off with their thumb nail. I bought some eyebrow tweezers to do it with - too horrible to contemplate eh?
