If there is a bat (or two, or three) flying around in your room, don't kill it with a broom. Instead, confine it to a box of some sort and tape the lid shut, or smother it, guarding yourself by using thick leather gloves and a long sleeve shirt. Whatever you do, don't flush it down the toilet. Take it to the health department so they can test and see if it has rabies, and then you'll know if you'll have to get the prophylactic series.
I know this from personal experience. I did not follow this tip, so I'm about to go in and get my first of the shot series for rabies. Bummer.
