There I was yesterday evening, busy tidying the main room to welcome our guests after dinner.

I laid a wood fire organically collected from my garden, and placed my LP of the Roomates in a handy position near my Linn deck, ready to charm said guests with my exquisite and diverse musical taste.

All was going fine until the end of dessert loomed.

Then - Horror.

News came that a bat had entered the main room and was circling at huge speed.

Aaargh. Successive attempts to trap and/or eject said bat failed.

So we were driven into another room instead.

All ideas for getting bats out of rooms welcome, please.
