I've got a bat ...

... in my bedroom. Happily hanging from the curtain rod over the bed.

I walked in there with a baseball bat, a broom and wearing leather gloves, but the damned thing just creeps me out. I couldn't bring myself to get within five feet of it.

Naturally, the local 24-hour extermination service hasn't called back for three hours. Any suggestions from the SportsJournalists.com community on how to deal with this little adventure? ???

 

Go in there with a damn blanket, grab it and take it outside, you pansy.

 

I'd use the broom, that is how I got rid of the tarantula problem I had last summer.

 

Shop vac that fucker, take the vac outside, and blow him out.

Seen my mother do it before.

 

I'd do it like this, I'd do it like that, I'd do it with a wiffle ball bat.

 

Mice I can deal with. But I hate little fuckers that can fly. Ugh.

 

Whatever you do, wear the heaviest gloves and clothes you have in case it goes after you.
You get bit, you gots issues.
I'd wait and let a pro do it.

 

Shut the door and sleep on the couch.

 

Pellet gun.

 

I'm telling you, open the window as wide as you can, then go after the thing with a heavy blanket. You'll either catch it or chase it out the window.
It's not that complicated.

 

How did it get into your house? That is what would freak me out. Maybe there are more or it is having babies in your attic.
