    Can you really call a cave bat-infested if that’s where the bats live? I don’t refer to my apartment as being infested by humans. But maybe we can say that this planet is infested by us.

      Yeah bat infested cave is offensive to bats. They did nothing wrong, that’s their home. More like dog infested cave

      I feel like calling something an infestation is a hilarious way of setting a narrative for something. Like someone opens a cupboard in your house and your like “Careful!! Snack infestation in there, can’t seem to get rid of em”
