Bat Cone II Reusable Bat Excluder – Humane One-Way Entry Capture Device by Wildlife Control Supplies – Safe & Effective Bat Catcher for Commercial & Residential Use – Great for Roofs, Garages & Sheds

after trying everything from spraying the house down with peppermint oil and mentholatum on the flashing where they were getting in at the roof line to, to all the sound rodent deterrents and lights i placed in attic, even drilling holes and trying to fill the wall with spray foam. the only thing that worked was the bat cones and they were gone within a few days and have not been back since even while it is still 100 degrees here in Oklahoma and mosquito season. would highly recommend if you are at your wits end and just want you \r house back they (i bought two and spray foamed them both in to the openings at the roof line) really did let them out and not back in as i watched them one night outside while drinking my sweet tea they would leave and then upon returning flap around it before heading to the neighbors house down the street.

Last winter I discovered that I had a "guest" in the house. It took a few days to figure out that it was a bat and not a mouse. It took longer to figure out that it got in by an unlevel ceiling tile in a suspended ceiling. I looked up advice online about how to get rid of my bat. The Batcone was the most recommended way by bat experts. I had to wait until the weather warmed up before doing a bat "exclusion" as it involved leaving a window open wide enough to get the Batcone in and then sealing the rest of the window opening so that no other creatures looking for comfort could take up housing in my abode. Fortunately, my friendly bat would fly back up in the attic during the day. My son was finally able to get the Batcone in the window and seal around the edges of the Batcone, as well as seal around the rest of the window that was open. It took a few days before we realized that the bat had literally flown the coop. We replaced the unlevel ceiling tile, and voila...BAT FREE! I would highly recommend the Batcone to anyone who is in a similar situation. The Batcone is designed so that once the bat flies out, he cannot get back in. Well worth every penny!

Worked well but we weren't confident that the bats wouldn't come back in thru the end, so we taped the ziploc bag it came in around the end and cut the very bottom of the bag off to make a sleeve to ensure that they could get out and definitely not come back in. Better safe than sorry. We are saving it in case we have problems elsewhere in the future.

I was up in the attic putting new screens on my gable vents and I noticed a bat flying around..looked as big as an eagle! So purchsed the bat exclusion device, put some screen on a wood frame, cut a whole in the screen so the "cone" was stiking out then put the frame over the gable end vent on the outside. Left it up for 5 days and then took it down and went back into the attic to seal up everything. Had an insulation crew up there with big LED lights and no bats. Note I put up a bat box on the side of the building so thay had a place to go and it worked.

Don’t waste your money, has been installed for 6 months they just fly right back in the tube.

They struggled to get through the tube if it was a little longer and little wider at the end it would have been better. My makeshift paper towel cardboard wrapped in duct tape then taped to small piece of cardboard worked so much better. Price duct tape . Though this was made well just not good.

I’m sure this would do a good job, but one of the screw flaps was broken. Retuned.

After being quoted $3000 by the local pest exterminators to eradicate our chimney of bats, I turned to Amazon to find a less expensive, proven solution.We purchased this device, then fastened it to a cage consisting of duct tape and chicken wire, and then fit it over the top of the chimney, where the bats were exiting at dusk (there are videos on youtube that describe similar approaches).After initially placing the batcone on the chimney, the bats were noticeably irritated. They were able to leave, but not return. Seven days later, all bats were gone from our house and chimney. We then affixed a cap on our chimney, which prevented the bats from returning.By my estimate, we saved about $2,970. And it worked.
