Bat Removal?

[nomacmac.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know of a good bat removal specialist? I want someone that will come to my house at 3am if there's a bat flying around. Any idea how much it costs?

I don't have any flying around right now, but we get them several times/year, including one last week. I usually make my husband deal with them, but he's on a business trip, and I am terrified we'll have one when he's not home. I'm usually not such a wimp, but bats are the one thing I just can't deal with. (and yes, I know they eat bugs, and have cute furry faces, and are good for the environment, and deserve to live in Somerville just as much as I do....just keep them out of my house!)

(and forgive me for being new at this Livejournal...I think I'm supposed to tag this somehow, but I don't know what I'm supposed to call it)

I agree with the first commenter. If this is a persistent problem, then they are living somewhere in the house. Don't wait until 3 a.m., have the landlord call an exterminator during business hours to remove the bats (and block their entrance to the house) to prevent future flyarounds.

If it happens again, close the doors to that room and open the window, turn the lights out and leave the room. They'll get out themselves if they have a chance and aren't trying to avoid the big scary predator in the room.
