We're talking about bats right ? I say let nature takes it's course. They are not an endangered species.

Nothing to be scared of guys. Bats do bite, most times out of fear. A pair of leather work gloves solve the problem. I have had many of them grab my flies when night fishing (usually find the hook embeded in their shoulder) and I haven't caught a disease yet.
