I have bats

jinx · 07-17-2006, 08:16 PM

In theory, getting a bat out of your house is simple; just open a door or window and they'll find their way out. In practice though, or my experience anyway, any bat that is smart enough to find their way out won't fly in by mistake in the first place - so you're either dealing with a total dumbass, or a criminal mastermind that is staging a coup. Either way, you end up with all your doors and windows wide open, sweating your ass off under a blanket with a bat circling overhead while your husband runs around with an oven mitt and a badminton racquet screaming like a woman.

My neighbor discovered that her husband has a bat phobia when one "attacked" them during dinner one night. He screamed, leapt up from the table, ran from the house, GOT IN THE CAR, and drove away. She had to call another neighbor in for help....

Bats in the house can have a nasty side besides the obvious, they pee when frightened. If bad urine all over your walls and carpet isn't bad enough it effectively aerosolizes the rabies virus (if the bat is infected) and will pass it to everyone who walks into the area.

I would have thought you'd have grown quite used to that sort of thing from LJ by now. One spliff too many, huh?
