Bat Repellent

[stephenkatsea]

Seems like we've been inundated by bats this year. Apparently roosting under the cover of our front entry. Crazy amounts of bat shit on the slab in that area. There are no bug attracting lights there. Anyone found a good way to get rid of these flying mice?

We had a bat as well. I have some thing that clicks randomly which supposedly drive them crazy. It worked.

If that’s one of those ultra sonic deals that really messes with peoples dogs sometimes.. (just an FYI)

Got one on our back patio, dog doesn't seem to notice it at all.
I think it has helped the bat situation but not 100%. Been plugged in for a year now.

If it's an area you can kind of get close to, you can spray it with some ammonia, or soak a tennis ball with ammonia if you think you can toss it up and make it stay. Another one is vinegar and cinnamon (Also seems to work pretty good for snakes), but that may stain.

So far, the one shot, works for everything, my friend found. He "donates" a few hundred dollars each year to "Out Of Africa" in Camp Verde. As a thank you, he gets a few gallons of lion piss. It seems even animals that have no idea what a lion is, are afraid of that smell. Anything from bunnies to bears stay out of his property now up in the hills

Bats are the messengers of the devil. Sounds like you need:

 

[Carlson-jet]

Build or buy a few bat houses. They like cedar.
Bats eat mosquitoes and bugs.
I love watching them chow down at dusk knowing they are an important part of the food-chain around here. They are fast but graceful little animals.
They do sometimes carry rabies and if a puppy or kitten eats a dead one before rabies vaccination, the state or county will force you to put it down.

Maybe try putting out an Ozzy bust like people do with the plastic owls to keep birds away.

Buy some peppermint oil at a health food store. Bats, mice and cockroaches hate it. Spread it around.....works well.

Mothballs will do the trick faster then anything. Only takes a few in a cheese cloth bag, pinned to a corner.

Whatever you do to make them leave your house, make sure you give them someplace to go. Build some bathouses, a ton of info online. Be sure and build the box to the bats you have, very specific needs.

That's the experience I had. Never seemed to bother the dogs. I had mine on a timer to activate at night only

We have the sonic dealio but it doesn’t cover the whole back patio so we leave on the porch light.

My neighbor has balls of wadded up foil hanging in the corner with fishing line. Says it works.

A couple of these pics should spook them away.

My parents did the tin foil thing. Worked great, never had a problem after that.

Unlike bats those depreciate the value of the house and neighborhood, hell one of them ruined a complete state, completely ruins the curb appeal.
