\/\/illy Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 You'll probably have to wait until it gets dark. Then turn EVERY light in your whole apartment on and open your windows (and remove screens if you have them). The bat should get the hell out at that point. He may need some encouragement to fly though. If you happen to have contact with it, I think it actually becomes better to keep him so that he can be tested for rabies rather than just automatically giving you the 'deep tissue' shots that are required.

backbacon Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Let me know if the bat is still trapped in your apt come this wednesday and I'll be sure to bring my tennis racket down. Frying pans are so cruel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 A bat flew into pepper jack's last thursday when while doug feavers band was playing. It circled the entire room twice and then flew out. 10 minutes later in came back and did 1 more circle, but this time it just disappeared at the back somewhere. There was no sign of it for the rest of the night or all next day(friday)during lunch, dinner and Box of Rain. Not until I got the last person out of pj's at 4 am. It came out and started caseing the room, it started flying about a foot and a half off the ground like it was on some kind of recon mission I was on my way to open the doors and windows and let it fly out on it's own until it started coming at me and faking me out at the last second. I grabed a curtain and duked it out for about 10 minutes until it gave up and flew out the doors. Next time maybe it won't be so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 remember bats are blind and see by sonarI held up a sheet last time I had one (to look like a wall in sonar) that altered its route of circular flying and, though it took a few times, it eventually flew back out the door it came inbats are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 remember bats are blind and see by sonarWrong! According tohttp://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-bat.htmlBats are not blind, but most have better night vision than day vision. They see in black, white, and shades of gray.(I asked Google a question and got a whole bunch of results that refute the "bats are blind" myth.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
