Reduced to a screaming girl

[NoNo]

Update! Called the landlord and he went to look again. Was moving things around in the kitchen when he heard a chirping noise. Saw the bat on the floor. I'm guessing after two days without food and water, it was dying. In the meantime, I had called animal control and asked what their policy was for bats in the house. She said it has to be tested if it's been in living quarters. I also had to call the health department and arrange to get it shipped to Hartford for rabies testing. Called my landlord back and he said it's out of his hands now. He also mocked the "public health threat" the bat posed. Obviously, he's just worried about how this might affect his wallet So I called the health department, told them he wouldn't deal with it, what do I have to do? They can't take it alive (he had put it in a plastic bag and placed that in a cooler that was outside). Ok, how do I, uh, take care of it? They need to test the brain, so do go cracking it's skull. Either a hose to your tailpipe or freezing it is preferred. So I get to put this little bugger next to my hot dogs till tomorrow morning The good news is that the rabies results will be back usually within 24 hours, definitely some time Thursday, so I'd know before the trip. The bad news is I have to eat the cost of sending it to the lab, at least $100, because my landlord won't do his job

Edit: All the things I read said that if you're sleeping you most likely wouldn't know you had been bitten because the fangs and claws are so tiny. It is also standard procedure that any bat that's been around a child or intoxicated person needs to be tested. The child might lie because they don't want to get in trouble or don't realize how serious getting sick would be, and the drunk person wouldn't feel it.
