Imdead, what if they get rid of it, take two steps, and another one appears? That's no way to handle the situation.
In all seriousness, it really depends what you're comfortable with. One way to go about it is to just let it stay up there until you can call the Wildlife center. Another way is, if you are comfortable with direct contact and a small chance at rabies (but a 100% chance of giant rabies shots), to try and trap it with a shoebox or a net. What I would probably do is set a trap, get a mixture of both fruits, vegetables, and live insects (Just catch like five ants) and put them in a box, leave the box in the attic and wait for the bat to attempt to eat them, then sneak up and trap the bat. That method is a bit harder though...
