I have spent the last 40 minutes sercing for a bat that we cant find and possibly left the house. Im hoping it left, as blasting an airhorn in every room did not provoke a response. I found a snow shoe to knock it out with though :D so I can get it back outdoors.

O.O An airhorn? Wow.... I've never had the pleasure of having a bat in my house. I did have a bird once though. But, I was really little, and I wanted to keep it, but my mom wouldn't let me. :(

I'd be afraid that it would ambush me when I walked in a room or something :lol:

bats don't attack humans, they do the 'war circle' where they fly circles around the room. They can also land on you or fly at you. Sometimes they land on something and just glare/stare at you while they rest! However if their in a house then there paniking and want to get out.

Try blasting a 25khz tone

i found a dead bat in my grandparents house once... Let's just hope the one in your house got out before you smack it lol

Noo, dont kill it?! Open the right doors and try to guide it out...We've had a few bats in our house in Trinidad, they always find their way out fine and don't harm anyone (not saying that they cant though...) but yeah, dont hit it with that snowshoe! #-o

That...Won't work...They're attracted to lights, apparently. A nocturnal creature attracted to lights...Hmm...

 

 

 

I have them in my house all the time, because it's an old house. Every single one of them has died a horrible death, save for one I actually managed to catch in a pillow case...They're too hard to catch because they're so fast. The majority got hit with a broom and picked up and put outside...They were never there in the morning, so it's a pretty safe bet none of them actually died that "horrible death", rather they were knocked out and flew away when they came-to. I do know one did die though, because he flew under my desk and when I went to move it, the leg landed right on his poor wittle bat head. :P

 

 

 

So yea, the broom technique is recommendable, I guess. Good possibility you'll kill them, though. I've also had a bird in my house once, which I caught in a pillow case, and the absolutely incessant bombardment of squirrels in my walls - Yes, you heard right. They never come out to play, though. :(

i'd grab it and bite its head off...

You wanna know something weird?... I had a dream last night that there were some bats in my house :-/

Jesus, are you kidding me!? Bats?!

 

Ew!! I hate bats! More so than Ace Ventura. They're all flappy and blind and evil. Ew ew ew. Cringing just thinking of that 'war circle' thing.

I'm not sure where you are from but bats are a protected species in Europe so don't go killing or injuring it.

...Seriously? We have an abundance in the states...You can have some if you want. :P

We used to have like four or five bats in our house a week. Until we finally found the small hole in our attic and sealed it up. I would laugh my head off when those things when flying by, looked like winged turds.

This wins the prize for the most randomly funny thread I have read today. I have a fantastic image in my head of someone chasing a bat around a house with an airhorn and a snowshoe. That's going to last me all day :D

My parents had a bat in their sleeping room about a month ago. The stupid thing kept circling above us, we grabbed a stick and chased it to the window (well, it finally went to the window afther an hour of waving a stupid stick in the air...)

 

 

 

My mom kept hiding under the bedsheats the whole time :lol:

I <3 Bats

If it accidentally comes back in, open a bunch of doors that lead to an exit to your house. At the door in the room at which the bat is in, place a fan or something. Put the fan in front of an open window.

 

 

 

This will hopefully generate an air current that the bat will ride out of your house.

 

 

 

Works with birds...try it.

I've had a few bats in my house when I was in Trinidad, all of which got out alive. All of the bats in your house ended up dead. Who's advice should he take, mine or yours? :lol: Kinda obvious.

i'd grab it and bite its head off...

 

 

 

 

 

Ozzy style :lol:

During the afternoon, at my cousin's place at the Phil., the sky used to be covered with bats flying everywhere :o They started to decrease in number though.

Jesus, are you kidding me!? Bats?!

Bats may be blind but they but they use ecolocation instead of sight.But there not evil.

I guess. Dracula is just misunderstood.

 

They still creep me out though.

Bubsa, they are a few bats that would like a bite of you. Dom't vampire bats eat meat?

I think it's the vampire bats that usually bite people or animals while they're sleeping to suck their blood as food.
