1. I want to find out what to do if a bat is in my house. (Health - General)
If there is a bat in your house, please follow the guidelines below:
Do not release or kill a bat unless you are sure that no one was bitten or scratched.
If you are sure no human exposure has occurred, confine the bat to one room. Open windows or doors leading to the outside. The bat will probably leave soon. If not, the bat can be caught when it lands. Approach it slowly. While wearing leather work gloves, place a box or coffee can over it. Slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the bat inside. Tape the cardboard to the container securely. Release it outdoors away from people and pets.
If human exposure has occurred, do not release it! Contact the health department (832-6429) or animal control authority to make arrangements for rabies testing.
