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)

Ah. So you know why bats in your house are Not OK.

Where were you that you got 8 shots? The standard rabies immunization in the US is 3 shots, unless you're bitten, when you need some shots in the area of the bite. (I prescribe these as part of my work-I'm an emergency physician).

I got the shots at Harvard Vanguard in Davis 3 1/2 yrs ago. I got 3 shots the first day, then had to return 4 or 5 times over the course of 2-3 weeks. My husband got his at Mass General, and they followed the same protocol.
