No fireplace, and I'm on the first floor of a 3 family, so you'd think it'd be on the third floor. No broom, either When dad came back, he brought a broom with him, but the bat had gone back into hiding. I don't care that they're insectivores, that it's just scared and lost, I don't like it! There's something so scary, so gross about them, especially inside your living space.
