\nBats are generally not aggressive towards humans. Stay calm to avoid stressing the animal.<\/p>\n
\nBats are attracted to darkness. Turn off indoor lights and open curtains to let in outside light.<\/p>\n
\nTry to create an obvious exit for the bat by opening windows and doors. If possible, create a direct path to the outside.<\/p>\n
\nMove away and give the bat space. Being too close may make it feel threatened.<\/p>\n
\nIf the bat doesn’t find its way out, you can use a towel or bucket to gently catch it. Make sure to wear gloves to avoid direct contact with the animal.<\/p>\n
\nIf you need to guide the bat, do so gently by directing it towards the exit without touching it.<\/p>\n
\nOnce the bat is out, inspect the house to identify potential entry points and make sure to close them to prevent it from returning.<\/p>\n
