I've seen it. He is small, about a six inch wing span. He dosn't live on the porch. He just eats bugs there and makes a big mess. I don't particulary want to harm it but I would like it to leave.

HOW DO I KEEP A BAT FROM ROOSTING UNDER THE OVERHANG OF MY PORCH? Occasionally, a single bat or two will take up temporary residence under the eave of a porch. These bats are not trying to attack people, they are simply in need of a short-term roost (for more information see Myths and Facts). If left alone, the bat will probably leave on its own when the weather turns cooler. However, some people have found success in getting a bat to leave by suspending aluminum foil or helium-filled Mylar balloons close to the roosting spot. These items may interfere with a bats echolocation abilities and help to dissuade it from roosting in that location.

Buy a "bat box" or a bird house and put it up as high on your house as you can.
I have 3 bats living in a bat house on to of my roof peak.
I know what you mean about the mess. They will go inside of the bat house.
Change it over once a year minimum.
We have very few flying bugs around our house though.

OoO. Kreepy. I would try to leave a light on at night. Or get one of those bug catchers so the bat has nothing to eat and moves on to the next house.

put a bat house in away from the house, call an expert on advice, they say they are good to have around in the yard as they eat bugs

He'll keep the bugs down for you. Have you tried leaving on the light? Sometimes they don't care for that...or of it's that the light is attracting the bugs...turn off the light.

Remember bats are protected so do not harm it, I'm afraid if you are very unhappy about it you will have to move.
