Not only do I make love to Jose Cuerevo this weekend and have a near death experience while trying to earn a few buck, but NOW i can say that i have come face to face with a BAT! I am babysitting a cat for some friends down the street, and when i went over to check the cat today, EVERYTHING in the house was tipped over and strewn about....i try to find the kitty and i cant..so i go to call Arthur when i see it...the BAT...sitting onthe ceiling RIGHT in front of the front door...i about had a second heartattack for the week and am able to sneak out undetected...and call the apartment office. They sent over the maintainace guy who had just a TOWEL..and he went inside and PEELED it off the ceiling and said that they sneak in through cracks in windows/screens, sometimes under the door...UGHH!!! CROSS YOUR FINGERS ONE DOES JUST SNEAK INTO MY APARTMENT!!!!! hahahahhaha oh my goodness!!!

OMG where do you live. I thought things were bad in FL with roachs. Here in Indy all I seem to get are spiders, but a BAT????? WOW!!! I am not scared of them, but I think the unexpected shock of seeing one in my apartment would freak me out!

My parents once worked a retirement home that was built in this old TB hospital it was an incredible building but it wasnt finished. one night I was helping them lock up I went and checked one of the doors to the old building opened it and a bat flew at me I was SO freaked out!! It was dark and all I could think about was ghosts and creepies and that old place anyway.

Im with you I would have high tailed it out of there!

I had my first (and last, I hope!) experience with a bat this past June. My mom and I were at her cottage about 60 miles from home. It was 10 p.m., she was watching TV and I was reading. I looked up from my book, and this thing was flying straight at my head! Well, I ducked to the floor and yelled, “What is it? What is it?” She yelled back, “It’s a bird! It’s a bird!” I got up, saw it clinging to the opposite wall in the living room, and yelled, “It’s a bat! It’s a bat!” It flew back and forth from the kitchen to the living a few times, and I tried to catch it with a sheet. It was actually kind of cute, like a kitten with wings. I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t catch it, because I wouldn’t have known what to do once I did. If only I had thought to open a door or window, he may have flown out. After a while, we couldn’t find him anymore, and decided to drive home. Good thing we live only an hour away.

Unfortunately, the story ends sadly. We weren’t able to get back to the cottage for a week. We arranged to meet a guy there who had experience catching bats. He was unable to find the bat, and assumed he was way up in the rafters somewhere. We left windows open at dusk, hoping the bat would find his way out. We assumed that’s what happened until a week later, when my sister was at the cottage and needed an empty box to put some junk in. The poor bat was dead inside the box.

That would be creepy to find a bat on the ceiling. At least someone besides you could get it out of the apartment.
