What if the bat flies home?

Suddenly, there came an "uninvited guest" at home-a bat. What should I do? Mr. Wang, a citizen of Nanjing, encountered such a problem. In fact, as long as it is handled properly, there will be no problems and there is no need for excessive panic.

At noon on March 22, Mr. Wang, a Nanjing citizen who lives in Oaks Zhongshan House, was cleaning his home. Suddenly he found a bat hanging on the screen window outside the balcony glass, and it was still alive, which surprised Mr. Wang. "It was reported before that it was the host of (COVID-19) transmission, possibly a bat. Although I haven't decided yet, I am still a little worried. "

So Mr. Wang racked his brains to drive the bat away from the window, but the bat just didn't want to go. To this end, Mr. Wang, who has nothing to do, can only be anxious and wait patiently for the bat to fly away. However, this morning, he found that the bat was still hanging in its original place, so Mr. Wang had to ask for help from the residential property. At noon, the property staff came to Mr. Wang's house with iron bars and disinfectant for treatment. The reporter saw that the staff opened the window and gently picked the bat with an iron bar. The bat obeyed and flew away at once.

Cao Jie of Nanjing Hongshan Forest City Zoo warned that small animals like bats should not be alarmed if they fly to their homes. "Because bats don't take the initiative to attack people, they mainly eat some bugs and so on. We can drive it away in some ways. Bats rest during the day and move at night. At night, you can open the doors and windows and lights, and it will fly to a dark place, or you can drive it out with the help of a flashlight. "

Professionals say that in the process of driving away, people should try not to touch bats, and then disinfect the places where bats have stayed afterwards.

This is mainly because there is an inexplicable fear or even misunderstanding about wild animals. Actually, this is not right. Viruses are not needed by every wild animal, so don't panic.
