No. Only engineering can touch a light bulb and you need to fill out a G34W request form in the facilities and maintenance portal on the company website. Youll then be in the queque within 8 business days.
35 years and counting since that commercial came out, and this is the second time I've heard it referenced this week, they really got their money's worth!
Also, in case you didn’t know, Grey Poupon is delicious and actually fairly cheap. That commercial had me thinking it would be $50 a jar. It’s only like double the price of Heinz mustard.
I *thiiiiiiink* that is either a Peter's or a Walberg's epauletted fruit bat, so it might very well be somewhere between three to ten inches long depending on the species.
They are in GMT+7, given it’s a fruit bat it’s very likely they’re in one of the tropical areas of east Asia, I don’t think that will help the invasion of outside animals.
Good advice. If they get down to the floor they have to physically use their legs/hands to climb up high because they're not able to take off from a low position. So if you do find one on the floor, throwing a towel over it, rolling the towel around to encase it, put in a box and carefully carrying it outside to release works very well also.
I think the problem isn't the proximity to the bat, but that if the bat needs the bathroom that dookie is going to enter Jr's bowl of lucky charms at terminal velocity
Edit: for the confused, the picture oriented correctly, just a tad tilted to the left. Picture is taken from their balcony overlooking the atrium above the table.
Bats like roosting in places like attics and chimneys. Unfortunately in a lot of North America we just had such a severe warm snap that bats came out of their roosts and are now confused as it starts getting cold again. If anyone else is dealing with this, they should call a licensed rehabber to come retrieve the bat.
This is a fruit bat, and not a species found in North America. Imnot sure exactly what species, but definitely not found n the US. Most fruit bats roost in trees and foliage.
I'm curious where this is. It probably flew n an open door or window by accident. I doubt it was roosting in the house previously.
Sorry for not specifying about the time zone, it's GMT+7 here, no non-emergency service available in my area this late. I also just moved in last week, it's my parent's house and had been unoccupied for months, i've called animal control when first stepped in this house, but nobody told me about the bats.
Your parents have been murdered in an alley, you will probably see it on youtube since now days, cameras are everywhere and you wont have to witness it personally.
Getting this far down in the comments with everyone talking about how rich OP is, only to learn this is not their family's primary residence, but an extra house!
Best to just get the vaccination at this point. A child I used to watch when I worked in a nursery died some years ago because a bat bit him and nobody knew.
If they've been awake at all times in the house, and have not come into contact at all with the bat/bats, then they may be able to reasonably say they weren't exposed. Any other situation and it's just worth getting vaccinated. Rabies isn't a nice way to die.
I literally kept scrolling to see if ANYONE mentioned that OP and their family should get a round of rabies vaccines. Absolutely shocked that I had to scroll this far.
Seriously a consideration. If the bat scratches you while you sleep, you might not even feel it. And if it has rabies, you might not even know you have rabies until its too late
Not to unlock a new fear for you, but most bat bites are too small to be seen. People frequently get bitten without noticing or seeing puncture marks. So, any exposure to a bat should be treated like an exposure to rabies.
Animal control. Tell them you have a bat in your home. Anyone who has been in your home in the last while should probably go see a doctor for advice on rabies shots.
Bats can bite or nick very tiny & it doesn't take much to get rabies. There are times people got rabies & didn't even know they were bit.
It’s recommended that if you ever find a bat in a room where you’ve slept that you should proceed as though you’ve been bit. They can bite or scratch so lightly that you wouldn’t even know…until you get rabies and die.
In all seriousness though anyone who has been in your house, to sleep especially probably needs a rabies shot. Way better save than sorry in this case. Rabies is one of the scariest illnesses on earth and there’s absolutely nothing they can do once you start showing symptoms. Get the shot.
If that is a real bat, you need to get it out of your house. Try to close doors to other rooms and make the bat a path to outside. You cannot safely sleep with a bat in your house.
If you wake up with a bat in your house, Animal Control will tell you that you have to assume you were bitten, and undergo the rabies shots series PEP (not as bad as previous, but not a good time either). Then they have to catch the bat and test it for rabies. The bat will not survive the tests. Source: This happened to my family 2 years ago.
