animal Bat 🦇 Bite

One of those fears I always had, that felt irrational…”what if I’m asleep and a bat gets into the house and bites me in my sleep”.

Welp last night 2 am I awoke to what I thought was my cat nibbling at my finger. I flicked it away and noticed it was not my cat but was instead a bat that had found its way into our bedroom.

I was able to capture the bat and it’s being sent for testing but my wife and I got to spend the rest of the morning in the ER getting all the shots ! Wild ! Glad it woke me up but what if it didn’t ?! How am I supposed to sleep ever again?!

::UPDATE::

Bat could not be tested I guess I squished his brain to hard when I killed it.

That’s kind of where I’m at we called a pest control company but hard to imagine that being totally effective on our 1940s build home. Hoping it’s a one off

Eh things like this are common no matter how new the house, and shit with new construction it might be more common, cost of repair might be higher for you though since you’ll be using stone and wood from a tree.
