one time I came back from my run and opened my apartment door and this big black bird with wings flew at me so I quickly shut the door. scared the hell out of me. I quickly realized it was a bat in my apartment. I took a large screen out of the window in my hallway and used it as a shield then reopened my apartment door.. walked in and it wasn't long before that bat started trying to attack me.
The screen worked well as a shield. without it I would have surely been bitten multiple times.
I opened up all the windows I could in my apartment and took out all the screens I could hoping the bat would fly out one of the windows but it didn't.
I grabbed a large pitch fork out of my kitchen drawer and when I finally saw it land/hanging off the wall I shoved the pitch fork right into it and pinned it to the wall. then the bat kept making a high pitch screeching noise. i didn't want to release the pitch fork so in case it would attack me. so I picked up a broom handle that was in my reach and used the back end of it and smashed it's head. threw it in a garbage bag and tossed it in the city garbage container.
