QUICK TO THE INTERNET!

I've googled, I've had no luck.

I currently have a bat flying circles around my room... It came in through an open window but it does not seem to want to leave via the same means. I have tried to trap it in the room with two cats, however the cats got bored and cried to be let out.

I cant get into the room without having an Ace Ventura "they're in my hair!" moment, and I would quite like the bat to leave.

Any ideas?

What the hell is wrong with you? Maybe you should give your mum a ring or something? Man-child.
 
I often have bats visit me (live in the loft above) they generally come in fly around, say hello and go out again.

If not, then they usually sit on a curtain rail and watch me, then leave a bit later.

However, now and again you get one that by the time I want to go to bed, hasn't left and has out stayed its welcome.

In this case, a washing basket or a towel/sheet usually does the job to catch it, then it flies away and rejoins its mates, telling them what an awesome night it had.

Good luck :)

Seriously? You can't get a bat out of your room?

Throw a sheet over it!

I'd be careful posting that on a public forum. Bats are a legally protected species in the UK, so if the bat were to suffer injury and/or die due to you knowingly locking it in a room with two cats you'd be in breach of the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Same as those pesky black and white foxes ;)
 
Dress up as a moth, wait till it spots you then throw yourself out of the window. With luck it should follow you.
 
Cut your hair so it can`t hide in it and lay eggs then put on the 300 soundtrack, run in and kill it in a fist fight.

Actually laughed out loud at this part.

In honesty, though, if it's been in there for a long time and you need to be rid of it, throw a towel over it and put it out the window yourself. Carefully, obviously.
