HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — They’re baaack.  Bats are lurking in a Charlotte high school and it’s not the first time.

Students first spotted one bat in a classroom at North Mecklenburg High School before Christmas break. The building was evacuated and the problem was supposedly taken care of.  But Monday morning before school, a staffer found another one.

The N Hall is a building on campus that normally houses six classes. It’s closed and quarantined after the health department removed eight bats from inside.

Senior Guy McCrary admitted he’s grossed out.  Other students are, too. But they’re not surprised because North Mecklenburg High is 60-years-old.

“It does freak you out.  Bats, rabbits, cockroaches, mice—what’s next,” he added.

“They keep finding more and more.  I don’t feel safe with my daughter back in that hall,” said one student’s mother, who did not want to be identified.

Principal Matt Hayes says when they closed the hole the first time around, some bats were trapped inside.

“By closing the hole, other bats were hiding.  We had bats hiding.  Now that we closed the hole they don’t have an exit point,” he said.

Instead, he says there is a one-way door to flush them out.  In addition, CMS has removed all ceiling tiles to verify there are no other holes.

The problem, they say, is that bats only need a hole the size of a nickel to squeeze through.  A private pest control company is working with CMS to get rid of the bats and students are expected to be allowed back in those classrooms on Monday.

A health department spokesman says they tested one bat and it came back negative for rabies. He says they don’t have to test all of the bats because no one came in contact with the others.
