Actually, there's a better way to do this than the ways the other answers mention, and it's much faster. Just run this command.

/kill @e[type=Bat]

This will kill all bat entities.

Sorry, but if they've already gotten out, then the only way to exterminate them is to roll up your sleeves and get to work doing it the hard way. Just whack 'em with a sword until the population's down to a somewhat less annoying level.

According to the Wiki bats will spawn in areas below layer 63, with a light level of 7 or less. So, much like you would to prvent hostile mobs from spawning, light area with torches (or whatever your preferred source of light is).

To get rid of them, kill them in any conventional way (swords, arrows, splash potions, fire). They are passive and will not attack you even if you hit them.

I would recommend using a bow and arrow. When the bat lands on the ceiling and stays, you can target them and kill them from a far distance with out them noticing. If you want to TOTALLY exterminate them forever, all you need to do is type in this command: /kill @e[type=Bat]
