just one of those gas insert fireplaces. I was walking by and noticed a weird moss pattern. Nope. Tempted to just roast this fucker but I'm almost certain that's a bad idea. How much of a pussy does it make me if I call someone to scrape this winged mouse off of there?

This.  Call animal control.  

Small chance they tell you it's a protected species and can't be moved (don't know if that applies to a private residence, but it's still the right move.

I was hoping it was just very tired and would disappear but this guy is dead as fuck. Batshepsut.

 

I am grossed out by the bat mummy but also am actually concerned about rabies or whatever. I assume it’d be fine if I gloved up with a mask and long sleeve shirt and then showered after but yeah I don’t want any part of this rat.

Googling seems to confirm that rabies cannot survive more than a day in a dead animal in warm weather.

From what I recall, Celery Man lives in Hogwarts Castle so maybe give it a little longer.

Why is no one suggesting just light the fireplace?

He could pee on it too.

In general, if you find an injured, sick, or dead bat, do not touch it. If you need assistance, contact your local animal control agency or local health department.

Bat bites are not always visible. Therefore, in situations in which a bat is physically present and there is a possibility of an inapparent exposure, the bat should be captured and submitted to a rabies laboratory for testing. If rabies cannot be ruled out by laboratory testing, people with a reasonable probability of an exposure may be recommended for rabies postexposure treatment (or for domestic animals, a requirement for a booster vaccination(s) and quarantine or euthanasia). Scenarios that may indicate a reasonable probability of exposure to rabies include:

  • a child touches a live or dead bat;
  • an adult touches a bat without seeing the part of the body they touched;
  • a bat flies into a person and touches bare skin;
  • a person steps on a bat with bare feet;
  • a person awakens to find a bat in the room with him/her;
  • a bat is found near an infant, toddler, or a person who is sensory or mentally challenged; or
  • a person puts their hand in firewood, brush, a crevice, or a dark space (i.e. a closet), experiences pain, then sees a bat.

Immediately call your local animal control agency to have a trained officer sent to capture the bat. If you are unable to reach anyone for assistance, recommendations for bat capture are as follows:

  • remove any children or pets from the room;
  • wear leather gloves;
  • avoid direct contact between the bat and bare skin;
  • confine the bat to one room by closing the windows and doors;
  • turn on the lights if the room is dark;
  • wait for the bat to land;
  • cover the bat with a coffee can or similar container;
  • slide a piece of cardboard under the can that has the bat trapped; and tape the cardboard directly to the can.

If any possible contact between the bat and a person or domestic animal has occurred:

  • do not release the bat; and
  • contact your local animal control agency or law enforcement agency to arrange for immediate submission of the bat for rabies testing.

If you are certain no contact between the bat and a person or domestic animal has occurred:

  • take the container outside immediately; and
  • release the bat, preferably at night and away from populated areas.

When capturing a bat, avoid striking it if at all possible. Physical trauma can damage the brain and make it impossible to conduct rabies laboratory tests.

Whatever you do, don't go out one night and kill it's parents in an alley as revenge.

Count your blessings that he doesn't take the suggestion of @Prepuce of Doom, and mail it to you in a spring loaded box of glitter.

Forget the bat you know about.  What about his 483 brothers, sisters and cousins hanging upside down and poised to attack shitting in all directions, from the chimney RIGHT ABOVE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!

Post a pic (taken as best you can) of your chimney cap & I will quote you on a combo spark arrestor / bird (& bat) exclusion device.

 

PS: keep the damper closed when not using said chimenea.

I would have said last week, Get some Gloves and you can borrow my man card.

Today I say this-  I heard a term from a prim and proper lady a couple of years back that I had never heard before, "Bat in the Chimney." But in her case, she was referring to a booger that was hanging and blowing back and forth in the nostril.

I thought is was pretty funny.  Any of ya'll heard that before?  I think of it every time that little booger is a problem...

Our household uses the term "bears in the cave" to describe a visible booger, but I like her variation that incorporates booger movement.

I think the correct progression is "Bat in the Chimney" then evolving into the visible "Bear in the Cave."  If you have a Bat in the Chimney, or a Bear in the cave you can't quite reach and are a lady.   You might hit The Booger Trifecta, as one good sneeze can also get that lady into "Jake's in Jail" territory.

A great big gaping one.

Spoiler

From the dude who made his 13 year old son chase down a live bat in the house.  But that bitch was flying.  This is just a piece of meat.
