A bat accidentally enters your home — and suddenly, panic sets in. But before you reach for a broom, take a breath.
Bats aren’t scary.
Bats aren’t trying to attack you.
Bats just want to get out.
And if you know how, you can help — in just a few minutes.

📌 HOW TO SAFELY AND KINDLY HELP A BAT OUT OF YOUR HOME

1. Stay calm.
Don’t scream or chase it. That only makes the bat more afraid and causes it to fly in circles.

2. Turn off the indoor lights.
Bright lights confuse bats. Dim the room to help it find a way out.

3. Open all windows and doors.
If possible, turn on an outdoor light. The bat will naturally head toward the light and open air.

4. Don’t use bare hands.
If the bat lands and can’t fly again, gently place a soft towel or container over it, then release it outside once it’s safe.

5. Do not harm it.
Bats are vital to nature. They eat mosquitoes, help with pollination, and balance our ecosystems.

🐾 A BAT ISN’T BAD — IT’S JUST LOST

Your home may have seemed like a safe shelter in the dark night.
But the bat doesn’t want to stay.
It’s just confused, frightened… and looking for a way out — just like you would in a strange place.

So instead of fear — choose understanding.
Instead of harm — choose guidance.

Because one small act of kindness…
Can save a tiny life that simply wants to return to the sky.
