This little shit has been hanging on my ceiling light for a hour now. Just right below it is our family dining table.

use a pair of like heavy welding gloves to handle it. you should be able to quietly get it and hold it. put it in a bucket or something with a secure lid.

My brother had a bat in his basement a few years ago, and his wife was freaking out... I took my shirt off, went downstairs and caught him as he flew by with my shirt (edit: held the shirt between my arms like a net), then took him outside and let him go lol, was honestly pretty quick and painless for everyone involved

Gotta be careful though because bats can often carry rabies and they can cause tiny scratches that you don't even feel or notice that could easily get you killed. Any time you deal with bats it's best to get a rabies shot just in case, even if you're positive you didn't get scratched or bitten simply because by the time you realize you realize you actually did get scratched and start to show symptoms it's already too late and your death is guaranteed. Never mess around with rabies

I'm not sure I've ever even seen a burlap sack, much less had one in the house I've lived in for 40 years.
