We had a very brave neighbor. He went inside and caught the bat as if was nothing. At our place next to you we had squirrels up in the attic. The mamma squirrel had babies up there. It was so noise at night. We called the exterminator and they caught the squirrels and closed our attic so no more animals could get in there. And set them free of course.Angelica Caputonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-58789962967537837822012-04-09T13:29:10.259-04:002012-04-09T13:29:10.259-04:00Lisa, just a bit (not bat) of info here: Releasing...Lisa, just a bit (not bat) of info here: Releasing a bat that was already in your home might seem like the humane thing to do, remember that if that bat made contact with any member of your family, it presents a risk of rabies conveyance. While only approx. 3 percent of all bats test positive for rabies and your specimen likely was fine, even the slightest chance of a rabies exposure should be taken seriously. If you're 100 percent sure the bat did not touch anyone in your household, then letting it go is the humane thing to do. But if the bat was in your house overnight and had access to any bedrooms, it should be captured and delivered to the health dept for rabies testing.<br />I love bats and encourage them around our home by building bat houses. They are remarkable mammals and actually beautiful to watch.Carl Rachelhttp://windshippublishing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-72173216968785279312012-04-08T11:54:12.532-04:002012-04-08T11:54:12.532-04:00Lisa.....this happened o us over a year ago.

When I was little, the older kids used to say that bats got tangled in your hair and given I had the worst mop of curls, I was terrified! I'm glad your home is now bat-free! :)Bellahttp://gypsyroxylee.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-52585174820298972142012-04-07T01:07:09.284-04:002012-04-07T01:07:09.284-04:00Hi Lisa!

Check it out here, http://monicastangledweb.com/2011/09/23/i-smell-a-rat/. <br /><br />But seriously, this happened to my sister-in-law ages ago when she discovered a bat flying around in her house. She ended up beating it to a pulp, using a broom and getting the living room carpet all disgusting with it. Then she had to replace the carpet. It was quite traumatic for her, but I can't imagine having to go through that or what you went through. Sounds awful--but funny, too. ;)<br /><br />So glad you stopped by my blog today!monicastangledwebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311906301829091998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-4987190985253609122012-04-06T19:49:07.718-04:002012-04-06T19:49:07.718-04:00A BAT IN THE HOUSE?

I love that it was thundering outside, to add to the ambiance. :) I love that there was a second bat, and you saw it's claws wrapped around the air vent bars. That description gave me goose pimples! I also love that animal control expected you to live with the bat. You can tell that guy isn't married. :)<br /><br />You're my awesome blogger referral this F-R-R-R-iday, Lisa! :) http://live-by-rule2.blogspot.com/2012/04/good-f-r-r-r-iday.htmlMelissa @ A Wide Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267143049138258950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-53704313262953446442012-04-05T18:30:44.714-04:002012-04-05T18:30:44.714-04:00I had that happen once also and we employed a broo...I had that happen once also and we employed a broom and a sheet as our capture plan. After hours of trying to get it out unsuccessfully, it disappeared suddenly. We never found the silly thing and I slept with the covers over my head that night. The next morning, we found it in the kitchen by a cooler on the floor and it was removed with a towel without incident. But eeks and aaaahhhhh, I'm with you, sister - creepy!Hiyacynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648329765845940034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741838949572545400.post-63478256622738088452012-04-05T17:33:41.900-04:002012-04-05T17:33:41.900-04:00That is extremely creepy, my heart is still racing...That is extremely creepy, my heart is still racing!!
