I've never had a bat in my home, but if I get one, this is great advice from a bat:
I am a bat:
- I don't suck your blood and I won't get tangled in your hair.
- If I happen to enter your house, please don't hit me with bats or squash me out; it hurts a lot and on such occasions I'm very scared. It was an accident and I didn't mean to scare you.
- If I land, I may not be able to get up and I need your help. Just grab a towel and pull me out carefully. I'll fly right away, I promise.
- I feed on mosquitoes and many other insects.
- Our houses are being demolished to build other buildings and we still have a few places to go. So if I'm flying in your space, turn off the lights and leave the outside light on with the door open, I'll be out shortly.
