>I was hoping to insulate my garage
ceiling this weekend. When I climbed
into the attic, I noticed some droppings
on the floor. I looked up and discovered
a rat roosting on my rafters. Does this
mean insulating my garage is ruled out?
The bat appears to be hibernating. He'll
probably hang out, no pun intended,
'till spring. If I disturb him he may not
survive the winter. Am I crazy to try to
work around him? Thanks for your
advice.

Check with your local coservation agency, there may be laws that apply. 
There may also be a relocation option.  but bats are voracious insectivors
and will help with the mosquito problem next summer.
