ARRGH!

The bat that got into our house night before last is not going to be a repeat offender because despite Rob's care, it seemed to have died of shock; it was still sitting in the juice container on top of the garbage can yesterday.

However . . .

I went to bed last night at 10:15--and woke up at 10:37 because a bat was flying over my head.

THESE BATS ARE TOTALLY UNAUTHORIZED!!!

Rob heard the screams more quickly this time and got rid of this one, too (fortunately, Delia did not wake for all the excitement). He walked it about a block and a half away as it swore at him, and he told it to live long and catch lots of mosquitoes but to NOT COME BACK.

The other thing is that you, or Rob, or someone (maybe an exterminator?) needs to find out HOW the bats are getting into your house, in order to get (and keep) them out of there! Are they in your attic, or somewhere in your yard? Specifically, how are they getting into your bedroom?

What she said. We had a nest of bats in the parental chimney once when I was young. Poor Dad had to take care of it while we children huddled under the covers with my mom.

We used to get bats two or three times a year, but it was a really old house. So you might want to call a pro to see how they are getting in and if that entry can be plugged up.

Good luck!
