If you are getting that many in the house you may want to consider getting the vaccine.

The rate of bat infection with rabies in the UK is 10 in 10000. And then it is not rabies as we envisage but a viral infection that can infect other mammals but is more virulent in bats.
In the extreme chance this bat is infected tehn my family and animals will be treated as infected just in case.
