How do you relocate bats from your barn? It is so open that there is no way to block them from entering the barn!

the bats chose to... or not... use the bat house. they had access to my concrete walled garage... which is now closed off when garage doors are down

If they are not hurting anything just leave them alone. They interact well with other animals, they will stay out of your way and they do not destroy anything. They are not like rodents and some other wild life. I have bats that nest next to where my goats bed down and there is not any issues.

bats cannot be relocated and introduced into a bat house because will often times return to their original roost.

Bats usually prefer bat houses over other structures. If you have a quality bat house, such as the Triple Chamber OBC Bat House, near the entrance, they will most likely move into the bat house and out of the barn.

put in a closet you don't use often with your woolens,or basement room..Hang it as is.Make a note on package of the date.I do not hang around it.It is toxic.They use to make very little ones but now the size you have is the only one that I know of.Farmers use it in their barns.Did you buy it in person or order,from Valley Vet?How did you get my name?From them?

You could either squirt it into a crack where no birds/mammals can get at it, or you can make your own bait station by cutting a narrow slot in some PVC tubing, and putting a brick on top of it so birds/mammals can't get at it (use two pieces of PVC for stability). Don't forget to label your bait station so anyone who comes across it knows exactly what's inside (for safety's sake).

If you want them to be abl to get out, you could use the ramp. If not keep the gate closed. Ours have never escaped.

Haven't used this box for that....but I definitely wouldn't. Raccoons are actually quite smart about getting things opened and getting into things you don't want them to. You need something with a lock on it, for outside !

It will get rid of bats in an enclosed space such as an attic but I can NOT recommend that you purchase this brand as they simply do not last very long. The speaker in the unit goes out with in weeks when you have it set on "loud" and "rodent" (which is extremely loud and only for use in uninhabited buildings). The Black & Decker unit that resembles this unit has been discontinued but is still available and lasts for years and years. It may take more than one unit depending on the size of your attic. Use the unit on the loudest setting that does not bother you. Leave it on continually. You will need to close off the openings where the bats appear to be getting in the building.

Go with spayed/neutered barn cats. We had a mice family that moved into our grill. We bought this and peppermint oil; neither worked. We just keep the grill cover open constantly.

Your question hits right on target regarding the difficulty with this product. If bats re-locate to this bat house, it is a great improvement for them and they will live better, eat more bugs, and make more bats. However, trying to place the bat house properly to improve your chances of bats moving in, is a difficult thing. My advice is follow the instructions, mount the house at least 10 feet high, make sure varmints (including your pet cat) cannot reach the house. Normally facing east is the best.

Hello. thank you for your e mail.In a barn dor application, the door needs to be 2 inches wider than the opening as a minimum,and this should give ample privacy. Regards. Silvio Haas

It probably could be, but I think the bats would prefer a more solid and larger structure. I have my bat house under the eaves of my garage

Honestly not thought about that... Not considered needing to do that as the bug netting never seemed to be I the way. I don't see why it could not be done, will have to check that out on my next camp out.

You have to release them. I just took them far away and let them out into a wooded area. You just open the top and gently shake them out.

You cannot purchase bats, but I have had this house up for over a year and still no bats!!

Has anybody found a way to allow cats to come in or out without a tag? I no longer have the need to restrict the neighbor's cats from coming inside. Has anybody tried to break the locking mechanism to allow easy access? Thanks

I live on the edge of a wooded area on the coast of Maine. My garage has a dirt floor and is easily accessed by rodents--I have tried a combo of peppermint oil full strength, moth balls and am hoping to keep mice out of the car that i leave in there for the winter. If you have any other ideas post them here. I hope it works.

I bought my devices to repel bats and have had great successes.The only thing I can think of for mice, is how the people set up the devices.Makes a difference with bats.Why don't you call or email the owner. He is great about responding.

Yes.....I had a friend who used this technology to rid his attic of bats. However, I can't recommend this brand......the one I ordered arrived dead as a door nail and I lost money because I had to pay to ship it back.
