There are ultrasonic devices that will repel bats from attics, etc. We used them in PA when our attic became a bat cave. To remove individual bats, use a fishing net or a towel. If you knock it to the floor, it can't fly (it needs height to fly). Pick it up with gloves and release it in a bush or somewhere off the ground so it can fly.
Rabies is rare. Can only get it if you are bitten. It may be a problem if you awake at night with bats in the bedroom, as they can bite with little sensation (personal experience), but modern rabies shots are fairly straightforward.
Bottom line, don't kill the bat, remove it or encourage them to relocate. They eat all those mosquitoes
Good luck.
