Flying foxes founded a colony a few years ago. But this year the number of animals has tripled, and people living here became unbearable. The constant noise, awful smell and excrement.

A similar situation arises in Australia for the first time. So, three years ago, the bats occupied the other city in Australia. Then the authorities conducted a special operation for their removal, using helicopters, using loud noises and stuff.
