Recently, a bat flew to the home of Mr. Wang, a citizen of Harbin City, as a "guest". However, after eating and drinking, the distinguished guest refused to leave. After 7 hours of fighting, the bat was finally subdued.
On the morning of the 29th, the reporter came to Mr. Wang’s home. With a tired look on his face, he carried a plastic bag full of ventilation holes to show the reporter the results of his hard work all night, and told the reporter his experience of staying up late to catch bats.
At about 23:00 on the 28th, Mr. Wang, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard a "squeaking" sound coming from the living room. When he walked into the living room and turned on the light, he was startled. "A bat was hovering on the ceiling, and then...
It jumped at me again." Mr. Wang squatted on the ground subconsciously and looked up. After flying for a while, the bat with wings 30 centimeters long hung upside down on the curtain rail.
"It rained on the night of the 28th, and I didn't close the window. This bat may have come in to take shelter from the rain." Mr. Wang lives on the 10th floor. While analyzing the purpose of this uninvited guest, he was thinking about how to "invite" it.
Get out of the house.
He tried to open the door and windows, turn off the lights, and shut himself in the bedroom. However, the bat not only failed to fly away, but also made a sharp and piercing cry, making it difficult for Mr. Wang to sleep.
Because he couldn't bear to drive the bats away with violence, Mr. Wang remembered that bats were very sensitive to sound, so he whistled and clapped to drive the bats away, but these methods did not work.
Mr. Wang was afraid of being injured by the bat's claws, and the bats were driven into hiding by Mr. Wang.
At 6:15 the next day, the bat was finally defeated and hung upside down on the curtain rail, motionless.
"The upside-down bat looked at me pitifully, as if to tell me, 'Stop chasing me, I really don't have the strength.'" Mr. Wang used a plastic bag to cover the bat and prepared to release it. However, considering that bats lie dormant during the day and come out at night,
According to his living habits, Mr. Wang decided to let the bat rest in his house for a day, and prepared carrots, cantaloupe and other delicacies to entertain it.
At about 8 pm on the 29th, Mr. Wang drove to Sun Island and released the little bat.
"I often hear that bats suck blood and spread diseases. Are these statements true?" Mr. Wang was full of fear of this uninvited guest.
Bats do carry germs, just like cats and dogs, but these germs are not easily transmitted to humans.
Li Xiang, a teacher at the College of Animal Science and Technology of Northeast Agricultural University, told reporters that since summer is the bat breeding season, the environment around Mr. Wang’s home is open and there are no large buildings, providing a certain amount of space for bats to move.
Bats living in cities and wild bats belong to different populations. Only bats living in the wild are likely to bite humans and cause illness.
As long as citizens keep a certain distance from bats and do not provoke them, there is basically no great danger.
The bat comes uninvited, how to "invite" it away?
According to staff from the Harbin Center for Disease Control and Prevention, mosquito coils or smoke can be used to drive away bats.
After "inviting" the bats away, citizens should also disinfect their homes. Walls and roofs should be sprayed with disinfectant or fumigated with vinegar for disinfection. At the same time, sheets, curtains and other items that the bats have come into contact with should be soaked in disinfectant.
Wash and dry.
