| Bat in my bed! I woke at 3am by something cold and rubber feeling hitting the top of my arm. I sat up and looked over and there is a full size bat laying next to my pillow!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I start screaming I guess, all I remember is saying "BAT!!! THERE'S A BAT IN THE BED!" And my husband is trying to calm me and saying be quiet so I don't wake the kids. The bat flies across the room and lands on my DVD player, hanging upside down against my TV screen. I have been doing internet searches for hours. (It is now in my shower by the way and bathroom door is closed tight with a towel under it!) Have called pest control to come get it and have it tested for rabies since it touched me. aaahhhhhhhhhhh! Please pray for me that it is not rabid!!!

| I just wanted to say, please don't kill it!! Bats are a VERY important part of the ecosystem. White-nose Syndrome Death In Bats: First Prevention Proposed By Ecologists Incase you haven't guessed I'm a bat lover

| You could always get a little butler named Alfred to put in the bat house and maybe you'd get some... Seriously, though OP, I will definitely keep you in my prayers for a good report. You still crack me up luvfla...

| Aww, I love bats. They have cute little faces. I can imagine how you felt though because a lot people don't like them. I hope the bat was rabid and he's released back outside. It made me giggle to think of the bat snuggling in the bed with her too.

| I have to agree! The visual is hysterical but OMG I would have fallen out of bed, ripped curtains off the walls trying to claw my way OUT of the room faster LOL Wow! A bat in bed, what a nightmare! I hope its not rabid and all will be ok though seriously!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | On one of the hottest summers on record we went to Duluth, MN to a place on Lake Superior to escape the heat. It was almost as hot up there we didn't escape. But we did get a bat in our room, when I called I found we were not alone. Alot of people were getting them, if they didn't come in a window they came in the fireplace. So we closed the windows and the fireplace damper. The maint guy came with a net and caught it. They said it was so hot the bats were trying to find a cool place to be also. Did I mention we had MIL with us? Oh yeah, fun time!

| I would have died on the spot. I don't like bats - though I agree we need them around (just not in my bed thank you very much).
