Bats can cause issues if they roost in your building. Their droppings (guano) and urine can smell bad, stain walls, and even damage structures over time. They also can carry diseases like histoplasmosis from their guano and, in rare cases, rabies. They can also be noisy and might bring in bat bugs, which are similar to bed bugs.
If you have fruit trees on your property, they might be more attracted to your area. Fruit bats are drawn to the fruit and may look for nearby places to roost, increasing the chances they will explore your home or buildings for shelter.
If you’re looking to keep them away from your property, our range of bat deterrents offers effective and humane solutions to protect your home, business, or farm.
To keep bats away, using bat deterrents is an effective and humane approach. Here are some common bat deterrents you can use:
- Ultrasonic Bat Repellers: These devices emit high-frequency sounds that are unpleasant to bats, encouraging them to leave the area. They are ideal for use indoors and can cover large spaces.
- Bat Netting: Fine mesh nets can be placed over entry points, such as vents and eaves, allowing bats to exit but not return. This helps prevent bats from roosting in your building.
- Reflective Strips: Hanging shiny, reflective strips or objects can create an environment bats find uncomfortable, discouraging them from settling nearby.
- Bat Deterrent Gel: Applying sticky, non-toxic gel to surfaces where bats might roost makes these areas unattractive to bats.
- One-Way Exit Devices: Install these at entry points to allow bats to leave your building but not get back in. They are a key part of many bat exclusion strategies.
