Bats are great, they eat 40 X their weight in mosquitos, each night. You must live near some water, river, or lake or something. If you have on bat in your house. Then you will need a fishing net. YOu can catch him with that. But it won't be easy. If he is hiding somewhere and you know where, try this Turn off all the lights, and be quiet. Keep a low light on in the direction that you want the bat to fly in. Be ready with the net. Whe he comes out, try to catch him with the net. IF you catch him. Then bring him outside. It may be difficult to let him go, if he is tangled, but DO NOT TOUCH HIM. UNless you have gloves on. Because if he bites you, he may have rabies. If you get bit, then you had better kill the bat so that he can be tested for rabies, and know whether or not you need shots. to prevent rabies in you.
One other thing, if there is a state part near you, the workers who manage the park know how to deal with bats, they may be able to help you. Forest rangers, thats what they are called.
I hope this helps.

"There are no chemical controls registered for use against bats. Lights, ultrasonic devices, smoke, gasses, mothballs, and noise have all failed in excluding bats from buildings. Experts agree the only safe and smart way to remove bats from a building is to exclude them and then seal up the entry points. If bat colonies are located in attics or other parts of a building, you can easily scare the bats out in the evening and block their entry holes while they are gone. Bats are not capable of making holes for entry into buildings, so caulking or otherwise closing openings makes a house batproof. Sealing openings should be done in seasons other than winter, since some bats do hibernate within the walls instead of migrating south. Be very careful when cleaning up bat droppings (guano), as they may harbor disease organisms."
