Hearing bats mentioned in a conversation causes most people to shudder. Logically we know they are not the supernatural creatures we see in movies and on television, but Bram Stoker’s novel did nothing to advance the cause of bats. From studying bats in school it is obvious that they have their place in nature. They eat insects and that is beneficial to the ecosystem. But we have to face facts; bats are just creepy. They are not cute or cuddly. Bats look like rats with wings, not to mention they carry parasites and can spread disease. This is definitely not an animal you want to find in your home.
But what should you do if a bat does gain entrance to your home? Screaming would probably be your first impulse or maybe chasing the bat with a broom.
