An Ayrshire family have been terrorised by an invasion of bats which were found living in their sofa. Kathleen Cuthbert, 26, her husband Ryan, 30, feared for their four kids, Rhys, seven, Kayden, six, Ryan, two, and seven-month-old Kady as they endured six months of hell which saw them decanted from their council house in Maybole due to the flying creatures.Their bat terror began when one of the winged menaces landed on two-month old Kady’s car seat and clawed into the tot's blanket.The bat take-over has saw them appear in rooms across the house and have been described by Kathleen is ‘tarantulas with wings’.Evidence of bats has been found in her son Ryan’s bedroom, with foul droppings discovered in the two-year-old’s room.
But council chiefs have denied they posed any health hazard. Kathleen told Ayrshire Live : “We’ve got a fear of bats. It felt like they had just taken over our home. “We are absolutely petrified of them.“The first time we saw one it landed on my baby girl's car seat and dug into her blanket.
I was screaming.“They are like tarantulas with wings, they just crawl about.“After we saw one they seemed to just multiply there was three or four on our living room sofa.
They were so small you could barely see them but they’d be right beside you.”The family upped sticks and were sent to stay in Prestwick while council pest control teams checked out the house along with a bat conservationist.At first, around a dozen of the frightening creatures were removed from the property as a mass deep-clean took place.Council crews then ensured there was no gaps from the loft where bats were coming from into the loft.
