Bat in the house: an emergency, or can I let it be for the night?

I’m staying for a few weeks in an isolated house. There’s only one other person close by, a caretaker in another house. I don’t want to bother him in the middle of the night if it’s not an emergency. There’s a bat in the house. It only flies around once every half hour or so. I tried leaving the (large) double door open for a while and it didn’t fly out. I don’t know where the bat is (I only see it when it’s briefly flying from room to room in the house) and I don’t have any gloves or other hand protection. I really don’t care about a bat being in the house – should I? Googling tells me that an estimated 5% to 10% of the bats in my area have rabies. Can I wait until midday tomorrow to deal with this bat?
