Ewwww Can you say bats

I so forgot to fill you guys all in on this disgusting story. On Saturday we decided with the rainy spring approaching we should fix a leaky cement footing in the basement to avoid any further flooding. So as we are rearranging our mounds of crap that was stored in the basement, Jeff lifts an old TV and finds a bat!! Yes I said bat. It was very much alive and screaming at us. A noise I will probably never forget so we capture it and quickly dispose of it. However as we open the bulked (sp?) door and look up their is another bat perched above the door on the inside. Now we have quite the dilemma how in heavens name do we get it out. We call animal control the don't deal with bats only dogs they tell us. They give us a # for animal critter call them they want $70 for the call and $89 for the removal of the bat. NO WAY!! So Jeff decides to squirt it with the hose to try and get it out. Doesn't work we try and get out the pool pole and net and scoop it out. Nope doesn't work it is attacking anything we go near and with. It is also screaming this sound I have never heard before in my life. I am such a chicken sh*t. We say what do we do now I know lets call Colby. So Colby comes out and as Jeff and I are standing on the deck shaking like leafs. Colby goes in slams the bat and sadly but inevitably what has to happen kills the bat. YEAH COLBY!!! Ewww I have never before had a bat problem and I hope never ever to have this problem again in my life.
