Bat help needed

The Backwards Man · 31-07-2014 02:12AM #1

A bat has just flew in my window and I can't get it out again. Any tips on how to (humanely) get rid of it?

Sir Arthur Daley · 31-07-2014 02:13AM

Throw a sod of turf at it.

Settled in the spare room now.

Should I leave it be or what?

Get the local priest on the howler , banish that demon.

Edit: Ah he's so cute and tiny! Maybe try coax him into a lunchbox or something and set him free

Hahhah crazy! Happened us once couldn't believe my eyes when it happened! I thought bats were hardly in Ireland! The minute my mother saw it she nearly collapsed and ran into a different room with a tea towel on here head cos she had some weird notion the bat was going to grab onto her hair! The one we had was A LOT bigger than that! We eventually got it out! It was in the living room so we left all the windows open and a tea towel to ease it out or did we get it into a box of some type! Not sure but good luck!

The Backwards Man · 31-07-2014 02:25AM

He's flying mad round the place again now.

Don't want to hurt it but don't want it messing my hair in my smell either

Is there someone I could call?

MadYaker · 31-07-2014 02:27AM

Not at half 2 in the morning. Leave all the windows open and close the door so it can't move to other parts of the house. It will leave eventually.

Na, it's as real as me.

petes · 31-07-2014 02:33AM

Towel over the ****er and let it out... Unless you want a new pet?

31-07-2014 02:34AM

throw a light cloth or tea towel on him when he stops just to stop him flying away and just grab in your hands.

He wont fly into your hair or anything

FloatingVoter · 31-07-2014 02:34AM

Kiss it. It may turn into a princess.

He's probably posting on batboards.ie about being stuck in a house with a near six foot 14 stone ogre in stripey boxers

This. If you have a jacket handy just, well, fire it in his general direction! I caught one in mid-flight once as he was flying over my head, just threw the jacket up in the air and the bat flew into it, let him off outside.

Oh, if you have any open saucepans of boiling water, best put a lid on them...

It didn't work out so well for the crow I tried to catch flying around the kitchen when he landed in a pot of boiling hot bacon water. Scalded his chest and it took him two weeks to recover before I was able to release him.

I have two towels, a scarf and a facecloth in the bed with me now. Just waiting for him to return.
