how to remove a bat from a room ?
Because I wanted to brush my teeth a few minutes ago and somehow a bat was flying around in the baathroom.
I always keep the window open so that the shower dries up quickly and the bat must gave come in at some point.
Its a very stubborn bat and I can't catch it and it wont fly out of the window.
Advice anyone ?
these are a few good general guidelines in terms of handling the bat while its there:

* tin foil or mylar outside. this gives a distraction
* mothballs to deter them. or something slightly acidic, like lemon.
* you might also want to install a small bat-house in a sunlit area. this will give them a place to roost in and leave you alone (plus insect eating bats are good pest control, assuming they don't get caught in your house).
