Have you ever thought about MY RESPONSIBILITIES?
Bat probably thinks it's in a cavern covered in guano. Might as well just redo the ceiling and the walls to avoid that kind of situation again.

oh, and before you do anything, check to make sure that the bat has gotten its rabies vaccines

Yo, bat expert here.

What species you got? If you're in Florida I'm guessing it could be the Bonneted Bat or some incidental species, but either way you'd be well off just keeping your windows open/making sure the lil' jerkass has a way out when he feels like moving. Blankets and gloves should only be a last resort.

Also please don't kill the bat. SSS-type poo poo is all too depressingly-common in the states and there's good reasons behind some of the seemingly-zany wildlife disturbance laws.

edit: if that chiropteran was in your home overnight and had access to your room I strongly reccomend you get vaccinated against rabies. Bites can go unnoticed and fevers in your brain are not fun.

Hey now, you can live with rabies


You can go almost a year before your brain is reduced to a pulsing mass of virons and you start acting like an extra in a horror movie

(Also there's the Milwaukee protocol, which has a fantastic ~10% success rate!)

Sorry, wrong term. You can get treatment before symptoms develop; the sooner, the better. If you suspect you've been bitten at all it's strongly encouraged to get that poo poo put away.


Also the treatment involves huge-rear end needles

The law might say you can't remove it but there's no law against opening all the windows in your house and then cleaning the grease off your stove with a canned air horn.

Canned air horn is better than oven cleaner or scotch brite pads for getting burnt grease off a stove top, at least that's what I heard on the Internet.

Call a wildlife rehabilitator and have them come collect the bat. They'll take good care of it.

i just want to know how the gently caress it got inside. air vents or some sort of wormhole technology are my two leading theories.

Bats can get in through very small openings, like the size of a nickle or less. Animal control will kill it to check for rabies because it's possible to get bit in your sleep and never notice.
