Bat FAQs

Q. I sealed my attic/basement up once I found the bats but before I got your device. Will they be able to escape if I start using your device?
A. If you sealed it up well, they are unlikely to be able to escape the way they came in… You may notice more activity or that the area of activity changes as they search for a new way to escape.

Q. Can it get wet?
A. Our devices are water resistant but not waterproof. It can get splashed or lightly rained upon, but it should not sit in a puddle.

Q. Can I use it outside?
A. When the device is indoors, the sound will bounce and echo off the walls to really fill the room. When it is used outdoors, it is more line-of-site, or like aiming a flashlight. You have got to point the speakers directly at the area you are trying to clear.

Q. Can I use an extension cord?
A. Absolutely, using an extension cord is a great way to get the bat repeller closer and to aim the speakers directly at your problem area.

Q. How far should I place the device from the bats – Indoors?
A. The device can really be anywhere in the same room as long as it is facing an open, unobstructed area. The sound will bounce and echo off the walls and fill the room with the sound. The device should not be placed behind curtains/furniture that can muffle sounds or something like HVAC pipes that can block the sound. In an attic, the repeller should not directly sit on top of blown-in insulation – we recommend placing the unit on top of a piece of cardboard / plywood / or a firm surface so that the unit will not sink into the muffling insulation.

Q. How far should I place the device from bats – Outdoors?
A. We have found that 10-15 feet is an ideal distance for bats on a porch/porch/deck/balcony. If the device is too close, you can create a hotspot – similar to holding a flashlight an inch from the wall – you’re not allowing the sound to spread out.

Q. What do I do when the bats are 2-3 stories up outside the attic under the overhang/eaves?
A. You can use an extension cord and place the device on the ground so that the speaker is aimed straight up toward the eave. The home’s exterior wall will guide and help the sound travel all the way to the overhang. Customers have reported success with this method as far as 4 stories / 40 ft high.

Q. The bats are inside my attic but I don’t have easy access – can I just put the device in the room below?
A. Imagine listening to a TV or radio in the next room – you can hear it through the walls, but you lose a lot of the volume and details. Attics tend to have a lot of insulation, which also muffles the full volume from reaching the bats. Some customers have had success using the device in the room below but if that’s not working for you, we recommend that you put the device outside of the home and aim the speakers at the eave/overhang /vent where the bats are getting into the attic.

Q. Will using two bat repellers in the same room or area cancel each other out?
A. No, in fact we usually suggest using two devices together when dealing with a stubborn situation. Setting the Confusion Switch on each unit to a different setting really works to power out the bats.

Q. Is there any chance of a fire if the device shorts out?
A. No, every unit has an internal circuit that is safety tested and designed to trip in case of a power surge.
