Flowing Brook Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Day three and I still have not found the stupid thing. Our house is sealed tight so there is no way he could have gotten out. We have not opened the attic since the day he flew in. I think he is still in the bedroom. So where is he? If he does not leave soon I am going to send him a bill for rent. And yes grandma I know it is cold outside but he cannot stay in the house until spring. If he does I will start sleeping outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathnerd Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I am very sorry for you. I would have moved out of the house if that happened to me :ohmy: I would put motion detector night vision cameras and catch him in action. Look inside all your closets and shake out all the clothes and jackets - if I were a bat, that is where I would hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 In my cat's belly. She dragged a dead bat into the house one night, we had to call the county health dept. to have it checked for rabies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The brat in me wants to say cue the music... The bat is in the Bat Cave. I've been around way too many young boys today. Can you tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaMama Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 My grandfather has found a few over the years either in a shoe or a boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Bats can tuck themselves most anywhere. My favorite it upside down in a flamingo glass on a high shelf in the kitchen! Have you opened the windows? You may never find it. :grouphug: I just assume they have left the house when I can't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plink Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Oh, no! It could be anywhere. They are just so tiny, and, like a mouse, they can sneak through a space as small as a nickel. We have found them on the inside of window treatments before. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender's green Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I know someone who found a bat in the drum of the washer (in a non-visible area). Just an unpleasant thought. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I went in to get some clothes before showering. I saw HIM hanging on the outside of the curtain. I did what any coward would do and shut off the light and went and got my dad to deal with it for me. He took a net and captured it. My dad then let it outside. I am glad we did not have to kill it. I did not want to hurt him just get him out of my house. Now I have to work up the courage to sleep in my room tonight. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Glad to hear it was a happy ending for everyone. And I will forevermore think of your batty friend as HIM. Does he have a Twitter account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, a call to the health dept or your doctor is in order. Rabies is high in my area with bats, raccoons and skunks.We have even had a case or two in cats.
