The morning of August 14, 2009 a, I was working in my backyard and felt something on the back of my head and tried to get it off. I walked onto my deck and then felt it on the back of my neck. I then hit it with my hand. I looked down on the floor of my deck and I saw a 7 inch in length grayish/blackish lump. I tooch it with my shoe and it flew up. I screamed and ran into the house. I saw a few scratched on the back of my neck and called Animal Control. They came and pickup the bat and froze it so they could send it to be tested in Boise. The results were negative.

Reminds me of the summer of '77. We had bats so bad, they called in the feds. Everyone stayed inside while they sprayed red stuff all over town. There was dead bats everywhere for weeks. We just threw them in the trash. Now that's "animal control".
we had bats in the evenings all the time around our house and by the lake in rural Redding, CA. I never heard of them attacking anyone before though. My husband built a bathouse to lure them into our backyard here in IF to control mosquitoes.
I would have picked it up and bit the head off....

When I owned a house on 4th street I would see bats flying around every night in the summer. They seemed to like to snack on the Box Elder bugs. It was always a great time to sit and watch them swoop and eat them.
