That is a fantastic question.There are many ways to do just that and save a bit of money. Please understand that fooling around with any wild animal is dangerous. bats can have rabies and other diseases and must be respected.
But what do you do if its the middle of the night and a bat is in your room?
(If there is an child in that room and you were alerted by them. go straight to the hospital..better safe than sorry. some bites are not understood by youth. It would be good for you to keep the specimen for inspection by medical advisers )
First of all get who ever is in that room out. Second try to see where the bat lands. Simple it sounds, but not always so. once you have the location on where the bat has landed, if at possible have someone keep watch. if not then simply close the door and place a towel at the bottom.
Find a spatula(you know like to cook with)brooms work too and wrap duct tape or any tape around it and flip it so that the sticky part is on the outside like a giant fly trap. Bats are actually very fragile and not very strong. Again I don't advocate this practice, but when in a place where it is necessity it is ok.
Carefully stick the spatula to the bat. the tape should adhere to the bat and you can remove it from the house. Once outside you can spay Pam or any other cooking spray on the tape part around the bat and it will be able to get free in a bit.
This is effective in a pinch. Though The Wildlife Professionals are the better choice in all this. Trained and practiced in the art of bat removal and exclusion. It really is the only safe bet.
