DICKSON, TN (WSMV) -
The bats living in Charlotte Middle School in Dickson County for several years have been removed.
A pest control company from Putnam County came in a few weeks ago and removed the bats, after the school got a special permit from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
School officials couldn't just kill the bats because it's illegal to kill them during mating season.
