Funny you should ask that. The thought crossed my mind very briefly. Two reasons not to fire on it were upstairs in their rooms with the doors closed and towels stuffed under the doors. They towels were the hubby's idea. We have a rock front fireplace. My husband turned on all the lights in the house, the bat chose to squeeze into a space between the boarder and the rock to get out from all the bright light. Then he sprayed bug spray up as far as he could thinking he could take care of it like that. He said to call an exterminator first thing in the morning, instructed the kids not to get out of their rooms until they were given the all clear and we went to bed with every single light burning in the place. Well, this morning when my husband left on his trip I decided to give it a go before I left for work. I turned out all the lights except one at the top of the stairs and out it flew. After about 20 minutes of using the dimmer on the remote, a broom raised to keep it away from the fireplace hidey-hole, and about a jillion circles of the room, he went out the opened front door. He did hit the fan a few times in the game room. We don't have a remote to operate that one and I wasn't leaving my post on the hearth of the fireplace to go turn the damn thing off. The moral of this story is, don't leave the damn door open at dust!!!!
