I never did find the bat so I had to get 6 shots at the ER. They hurt but not as badly as I thought. I still have to go back to get more shots every three days for the next 2 weeks.
There is ony one documented case of any person surviving an active case of rabies so I decided not to take any chances.
I thank everyone for their help.

Good god, everyone has to do things the hard way that involve effort. Tennis racqets are for the physically fit. Get a left blower that has the suck and mulch option and have at with the little bastard.
Other alternatives:
-Yell at it
-That or catch it with your bare hands and bit its head off
-Throw randoms objects in its general direction
-Fire extinguisher (it will make the bat hibernate or die)
-Set the room on fire and smoke him out
-Yell at it again.
-Open a window and let the damn thing find its own way out
-get a batsuit and tell all your friends you're batman
Thats a good starter list, or just use the leaf blower on blow, that will agitate it. Then it will leave on its own.

OUCH  !! That's gotta suck ... but I guess not as bad as the alternative (death) . Odds are , you only got scratched (or scratched yourself & didn't realize it) , but no sense taking chances .
Good luck with the rest of the shots .

thought you just had Luke move in, so he could take care of them as rent?

How did the bat episode work out? Any furhter incursions by them into your basement?
Poor kid here in Houston is probably going to meet his maker soon due to not getting treatment for rabies:

Seems like common sense that if there is a chance that you were bit by a bat (woken up by "being brushed up against") that you would go and get the shots. It seems like a pointless death to me. ARRRGH!!

The only non-pointless death to you is standing on the deck of your pirate ship spitting in the face of nature as a hurricane tries to wash you overboard. Arrrgh.
