I've always heard that a good trick is to simply toss an open towel (not bunched up - hold it at the corners and try to fling it flat) into the air when the bat is flying around. They almost always fly into it for cover, and it falls to the floor, covering the bat. You can then scoop up the towel and throw it outside.

Haven't done it personally, but have heard it from a few different sources.

We love being "dive-bombed" by the bats while boating in Wolfeboro at/just past dusk! The kids' screaming is a Summer joy!
