Place the bat in a small container with holes.
STEP 1
Bats can escape through hole the size of your little finger, so make sure they can't escape through any tiny holes.
A shoe box is ideal. Other suitable containers include an empty plastic takeaway box with air holes, or even a sock.
Handling the bat directly is not necessary.
The bat can be contained like a spider, by placing a box on top of it and sliding a piece of card underneath.
Alternatively use a cloth or tea towel, cover the bat and gently transfer them into the box.
