  1. Why not call Project Wildlife?


  2. Since bats are usually active at night I would turn on a bunch of lights.  It will probably try to find a dark place to roost.  Try catching it while sitting with a towel or fish net.  This is just an idea.  Good luck

  3. Put on a long-sleeved garment and gloves, and take an empty laundry basket, the kind with holes.  Wait until the bat is on the floor and put the basket over it.  Slide some cardboard underneath so you can move the bat.  If the bat looks sick or injured, or if it bit or scratched anyone or any pet in your house, call the county health authority and get the bat screened for disease.

    Otherwise, release the bat outside.  Then figure out how it got in and seal up the spot.  Good luck!
