My daughter has a home 3 yrs old. They have had a bat come out and fly throught the house at night. Researching it they run in pairs.I went upstair to a where a small removavle door to the attic is. I climbed up a ladder and removed the removable door. Right in front of me were two big bats breathing deeply. I got a board wider than the both of them and put a flashlight right on them and gave them a wack. One flew out the hole and out the door leading to the balcony. The other bat seemed barely alive. My daughter went to make me a home made spear and while she was gone my son in law tried to grap it with gloves and it slid down downward. Its like a 30' ceiling. Now listen to this, no such thing as bat poison because they are an endangered species. Tommorrow I will enter from the first floor to retreive or kill this bat. Oh they are nasty. A whole lot of bat poop. I need to take another shower just thinking of it.They were brown colored and looked like they came from Hell.
