There's no need to kill it. Simply leave all the doors and windows open
at night (if possible), and it will likely find its way out, hopefully
before biting everyone in your family and infecting them with incurable
rabies that will cause them to die in unspeakable agony.

You can always rent a Batman costume and see if it will follow you out
the door.
