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.
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”
Aye, but you see, that usage of “Infest” is correct. I don’t want wild rats living in my house, therefore its an infestation. Wild bats living in a cave, well, that’s where they live.

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