Bat in the House<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If you have a bat in the house, you can try the escape and\nevade method. This involves opening all the windows and doors in the vicinity\nof the bat, while closing off all others, in order to encourage the bat to\nsimply fly outside on its own. Be sure to separate everyone from the area of\nthe bat, including pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bat in the Attic<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If you have a bat in the attic, try the escape and evade\napproach mentioned above. If you cannot access your attic well enough to open a\nwindow or door, you can also try bat abatement service. A professional bat control\ntechnician will inspect your property for the bat\u2019s entrance, and then implement\nmethods to make the bat leave and seal up the entry way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bat on the Ground<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If you find a bat on the ground, whether it is a baby or injured, the best practice is to leave it alone and let nature take its course. However, if you want to relocate it, try using the shoe box method. Place an empty shoe box on top of the bat, put on a pair of heavy-duty work gloves, and then use a shovel or garden spade to gently scoop the bat up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, relocate the bat to a farther-away habitat where it will\nnot pose a threat to anyone. Furthermore, never attempt to rehabilitate an\ninjured bat, nor keep it as a pet. Not only are there laws against this, as\nexotic animal domestication requires specific government permits and more, it\nalso poses several health and safety threats to you, your family, and pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mother Bats <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes mother bats carry their pups on their backs, and sometimes,\nthere are too many clung to them. In this case, a mother bat cannot take launch\nand fly. If you find a mother bat with babies clinging to her, your only approach\nshould be to contact a local wildlife removal and control company for\nprofessional intervention. They have the proper resources to ensure the safety\nand rehabilitation of the bat family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dead Bat<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
If you find a dead bat, whether indoors or outside on your lawn, you can use the same shoe box method given for finding bats on the ground, minus the shoe box. Since the bat is dead, it is not going to attempt to escape, so you do not need to contain it. However, be sure to wear protective gloves and relocate the bat to a faraway area where it can safely decompose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
