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"
