Bat Mayhem at the O’Reilly Residence
It started as an ordinary Monday evening for the O’Reilly family in County Kerry, Ireland. Everything changed when a simple trip to the backyard for their new puppy, Finn, led to the unexpected arrival of a bat zooming into their home. The chaotic aftermath was so comical, it’ll have you in stitches as you watch their attempt to handle the situation.
Filmed by their son, Liam, who lives at home, the entertaining incident was edited and shared on Facebook, quickly racking up over 1.3 million views. Disclaimer: the video contains some colorful language due to the unexpected winged intruder.
Liam captioned the video: “So a bat decided to join us for dinner last night… let’s just say it was handled in a very civilized manner #catchitdad #puppyintheway.”
At first, we were a bit worried about the approach because that dish towel appeared far too small for a bat-catching task. “But it’s a small bat,” some might argue. No way. All bats are essentially monstrous creatures in our minds, and the towels? They’re just too tiny for comfort. If it were us, we’d be looking for a pool skimmer, or considering knocking down a wall to ensure a smooth exit for the bat.
Thankfully, Dad, Mike, soon realized the need for a larger tool and grabbed one of his wife’s freshly laundered towels to take on the bat. Liam cheered him on, exclaiming, “Bigger towel, that’s the way! Go get him!” Meanwhile, Mom, Mary, wisely decided to take cover behind the pantry door.
We totally understand, Mary. After all, what could deter a panicking bat, flapping around with reckless abandon? Perhaps a wall of glass? Maybe we’d just cover ourselves in ketchup and play dead.
Just moments later, Liam also shut himself behind a door to record the action, offering encouragement to his dad. “You’re doing awesome! Keep it up, Mike!” And Mike was indeed doing a commendable job, hopping around and standing on chairs, all in a quest to rid their home of this nocturnal menace. But the bat proved to be a crafty adversary. At one point, Liam shouted, “He’s making a fool of you, Dad!”
And just when things couldn’t get any crazier, the poor puppy Finn panicked and had an accident: “Finn’s peeing! Dad, he’s out there!” Poor pup, what a wild scene to be thrust into! With just him and his dad left in the kitchen, we wouldn’t blame Finn if he had to relieve himself, either.
Finally, after what turned out to be a ten-minute standoff, we see a triumphant Mike waving the bat out the door with the same towel. But how did he escape the sharp little teeth? Maybe he didn’t. Perhaps Mike is now a vampire himself. We might need another video of him checking his reflection in a mirror shaped like a cross while munching on garlic at noon to put our minds at ease.
Kudos to you, Mike! Especially considering you had no assistance from a frightened wife, a son who was cheering from behind a door, and a dog so scared it couldn’t hold it together.
