Have you ever had a bat find its way into your home? It can be incredibly scary! They’re fast, they’re scary, and they’re agile. Now, when it eventually happens to you, you’ll know what to do thanks to this Police Officer who removes a bat from a home with a unique method.

What shouldn’t you do? Freak out. Instead, keep calm and do what this officer does.

Police Officer Removes Bat From Home

When a bat ended up inside a home in Massachusetts, a family did what I would have done and called the cops. In the video below, you can see the cop bravely take action. It looks like this might not be his first time taking care of a problem like this.

In the video, you can see the officer pick up some towels that have been placed over the bat. Then, there’s another officer standing by holding onto a Tupperware container.

The officer puts the Tupperware over the towel and then slides the towel gracefully away. He then slides a new different flat object underneath the container, so that the bat is situated inside. After that, he walks the entire thing outside to safely release the bat.

Check out the video here and make sure to take notes!

What To Do If You Find A Bat Inside

The Humane Society recommends you don’t become alarmed if a bat enters your house. Instead, stay calm and follow these few steps to remove them safely and humanely.

The Humane Society recommends that if you’re going to take care of the bat yourself, contact your state wildlife agency to ensure what rules and laws you must follow. It can vary state to state.

Also, you should wear thick work gloves if handling a bat. Don’t wear cotton as bats can bite through the material quite easily. The Human Society says you should carefully place a plastic tub or container over them to capture them, just as we saw in the video! It looks like it was handled correctly!

The 5 Lamest Super Powers In The Animal Kingdom

In the animal kingdom, evolution has bestowed upon various creatures abilities that are pretty awesome. The chameleon can change its skin to blend in with it’s environment. The octopus can mimic other creatures. The rhinoceros has super strength. Those are all awesome powers… the following are not as cool.

  • The Waxy Monkey Tree Frog

    Even some frogs have cool powers. There are frogs with deadly poison. There are frogs that have suction cup sticky feet to give it an awesome climbing ability. Then there’s the dumbass waxy monkey frog. What can it do? Well, it can secrete a wax. Is the wax deadly? Nope! It… um… it keeps its skin nice.

  • The Bird Of Paradise

    Some birds have incredible abilities. The eagle can see for miles and has razor sharp talons. Not the bird of paradise. What mighty powers was it given? The power to dance. Yep, that’s right… so it dances like Buffalo Bill to attract a mate. Not the coolest ability if ya ask me.

  • The Cow

    Outside of being delicious, the cow doesn’t have many abilities. It can eat grass. It can run away from danger… but its farts are dangerously world endingly powerful. Their asses literally melt away the ozone like the laser of an evil comic book villain. Pretty lame, cows.

  • The Grasshopper

    In the world of insects there are a ton of superpower-like abilities that are so very cool. The rhinoceros beetle is so strong that if it were our size it could literally punch buildings down. Even flies have super vision because of there crazy eyes. Not the grasshopper though. It can… hop. Yep, it can hop like really, really far. Oh and if they get emotional enough they can transform into locusts and eat alot. Very lame, the grasshopper.

  • The Capybara

    The capybara is a giant rodent that resembles a gigantic guinea pig. What can it do, run at cheetah-like speed? Nope. Is it super strong? Not particularly. BUT IT CAN… take a nice warm bath in the hot springs found in its habitat. If you google this creature you’ll see it’s other ability.. which is to balance vegetables on it’s head. Two VERY dumb superpowers.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
