Air Condition problem: a bat

We got home yesterday and Pamela was going to put Katy down for a nap. Since it is extremely hot here in Thailand, we went upstairs to turn the air on. When doing so, we heard a really loud sound and lots of shaking in the air condition. I'm not a fixer man, but I thought that I would at least open it up and take a look at it. The unit is up near our ceiling...when I got up there, I reached up to where I heard the loud sound, and then I heard some kind of screeching. I thought that it may have been a mouse, but after sticking something in there, I saw that it was a bat. So, I grabbed an oven mit and some kitchen utensils to grab it with. I successfully grabbed it by the head and got it out of the house.
