if you don't have a bite on you, then it couldn't have given you rabies. check yourself, and if you are bite free just let it go. the bat is probably slowly dieing in that bucket... frankly IMO either kill it quickly or let it go. don't make it suffer.

Let it Go!
And while your at it get a bat house to put outside. The point I was trying to make is they are beneficial to humans.

QuoteWhen my dog bit my mother she was quarrantined by the county at my house for 10 days. During that time no interaction was allowed with other dogs, she could not leave the yard, and could not even be outside without me with her. If she showed any signs of rabies or died I had to notify the county immediately.
Damn! Your mom didn't protest about being restricted to the yard?

Why are you going to deliver it to animal control? There's probably lots of them around there, you just happened to get one in your house. Let it go. If you found a mouse in your house would you take it to animal control?
QuoteOkay, I've given up on calling animal control. I'm gonna get a friend to drive me there. He's bringing another box to put the first one in.
This is way too much work for one little bat. You do not own the bat. They most likely cannot fine you for anything. Let it go and go have a sammich.
mmmm, sammich.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

There is another way to test for rabies. When my dog bit my mother she was quarrantined by the county at my house for 10 days. During that time no interaction was allowed with other dogs, she could not leave the yard, and could not even be outside without me with her. If she showed any signs of rabies or died I had to notify the county immediately. They even came by and did a check to make sure the dog was in the house. If not, I could have been fined.
They might just keep the bat through the rabies period. If it shows no signs, they'll let it go. Rabies tests are expensive, the city won't do one unless it really has to.
No they aren't, the dog was a family pet who had people to put up a fight. The bat has no one, and it's not like they have room for it.
Did it bite you? If the answer is no it's probably fine. I had one in my house and did call animal control since it hadn't bit me or my pets they let it go after they caught it.
Fly it like you stole it!

I'd let the thing go, if I had caught it like you have.
I probably would have caught it by smacking it with a rolled-up wet towel, though. Probably would have killed it.
When I have mice in my house either me or my dogs kill them.
Mice and bats and scorpions and snakes and stuff are cool and fun. Just not in the house.
It's a mouse with wings, not a bald eagle. It hasn't bitten anybody, so let it go. If it dies, don't sweat it.

Please release the bat.
It is bad karma for a skydiver to imprison another flying mammal.
Besides, like the statistics said, your chances of catching rabies are insignificant, unless you try to handle it.

Just dropped the bat off. I'll know in about two days if the bat had rabies. They will call me if it did.
Look, I love animals, but not at the expense of humans. I don't know if the bat bit me, I don't know if it bit someone else in the house. A family just moved in upstairs with a dog and a child. If there is any doubt, I want to know for me and for them.

The red is positive and the black is negative....

Amen. That's what I was taught way early in the sport. That also applies to insects and avians.

So if I said I caught the bat in my bathrobe, you would ask me how did it get into my bathrobe? 
Moms like dogs eventually quit whining if you ignore them long enough.

Hmm, let it go? Not!
Luckily, this girl survived.
All she wanted to do was help.

I grew up with a tennis racket under my bed, and used it an average of once a week for years. If they end up in my room, they don't get out.

No doubt. I'm all about releasing animals that aren't hurting anyone. I'd have to say though........if a bat made it into my house......he probably wouldn't make it out alive. Poisonous snakes also usually don't make it.
There was a recent story of a girl in Wisconsin I think that is the first person ever to survive having rabies. She was bitten by a bat and did not seek treatment until AFTER symptoms had set in. Apparently, the vaccine isn't effective after symptoms set in.

QuoteROFL! So if I said I caught the bat in my bathrobe, you would ask me how did it get into my bathrobe?
Ok, so previously you mentioned that you had your bathrobe on your head as you dashed out of the room. Next the poor little bat is INSIDE your bathrobe.
How DID that happen? Since we call Clay "sheep boy" should we start calling you "bat boy?"
EWWWIIIEEEE!!!
Perhaps the bat should have you tested for some contagious human disease.
ROFLMAO
Will good old soap and water get rid of the bat cooties in your bathrobe, or are you going to have to burn it?

I had a bat fly into my room once. Next to the whole bug in the ear thing, it was the scariest experience of my life. I hid under the covers and turned on the light. The poor thing ended up flying straight into the wall and killing himself. I mean I was lucky that I didn't get hurt, but I feel bad for the little thing. That really had to suck.
I'm so funny I crack my head open!
