I didn’t think how the bat got into the house, even though I knew it had to go, however the apparent conclusion was that it had somehow gotten into the air duct & come out in our family room.
The bat was on the wall right about the air vent! I called our sibling & asked him if he could get the bat out of our house.
He laughed while asking why I was afraid of a little bat. The last time I tried to get a bat out of our house, I destroyed our sweeper. The exhausting thing was trapped in the sweeper hose, where he died. I threw the sweeper away & refused to ever use another vacuum cleaner again, then my fear was that if that bat got into the house, there could be an entire bat colony waiting to come in while in the evening. Maybe this bat was the lookout, searching out a modern place to sleep. I had all kinds of unusual thoughts going through our mind… When the HVAC worker arrived, he looked through the apartment to check the air duct. When he got to the attic, he came out & told me I had to call an exterminator. The walls were crawling with bats, & they carried a lot of diseases. There were holes in the air duct, & a bat could fit in a hole that was the size of dime. He advocated that once the exterminator came in, I should have the air duct repaired, cleaned & sanitized. I should also have our attic cleaned & sanitized by a group of professional cleaners the exterminators could point me to.
