Errr, theres a dead bat in my toilet, anyone know the proper way to remove it, i’ll explain later
Get a sieve or collander from the kitchen.
Scoop it out.
Soak the collander or sieve in a solution of 90% water, 10% chlorine bleach for 10 minutes. This will sterilize it.
Darn, I was hoping this thread was about the Caped Crusader’s plumbing problems…
Change of plans, the bat’s alive,
Holy effluent-soaked mammal!
Ewww! You want her to scoop a bat out of the toilet and then wash the sieve so she can re-use it! Ewwwww!
Throw it away, throw it all away!*
Don’t ya just know that I will be thinking about that bat when I rouse from a sleepy slumber at 3am, and stumble my way to the bathroom.
*I wouldn’t actually throw away the sieve, especially if it was one of my favorites. But I would put it way in the back so I wouldn’t use it for a few years.
If it’s alive, call the local animal control. Don’t touch it. Bats can carry rabies.
Think “The Great Outdoors” with John Candy. Make sure to put a wicker wastebasket on your head before advancing on the bat.
OK–
Open the bathroom window, & close the bathroom (batroom?) door.
Bat go bye-bye.
Can’t just open, he’s stuck in the toilet, way to wet and tired to fly.
Place an old towel half in and half out of the toilet, so he can climb out.
Or else another bat will fly in, which is what happened when my parents tried to shoo one out of their bedroom window. You gotta be careful with those things.
Waiting eagerly for the OP’s explanation of how this situation came about…
O.K ended up taking the wimps way out and calling the neighbor for help. used a towell and gloves to get it out and set it out in the lawn. It seemed to dry off and crawled into some ivy and hopefully will fly off before encountering cats. As to how it happened. My mom took went away for the weekend and came back to find a bat in the toilet, she must have left the seat open. Don’t know how long it was in there but seemed to be doing O.K
Obviously a female bat manufacturing yet another reason why we have to leave the seat up.
DOWN! I meant down!
Obviously yet another example of female bat mind control designed to make me look foolish–oh, skip it.
I’m reasonably sure that any bat that gets in such difficulty is a sick bat. Just thinking about rabies makes me twitchy.
Those diseases with fatality rates of 100% are so unappealing.
I would pay good money to see a band called “Bat Toilet Emergency”.
1.) Point muzzle of shoutgun at bat.
2.) Pull trigger
3.) Buy new toilet and replace the bathroom tile. Hey, you never liked it that much anyway, did you?
Surely Tallayan’s kitchenware isn’t that dirty? I don’t think the bat will mind if the collander isn’t perfectly clean.
Pardon?
Bats are small animals. Bats are not endangered animals. Flush it and forget about it
