Does this work for bats?

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.

Don't know, we don't have bats around. I got it to keep squirrels away from my plants, however after sometime i felt its effectiveness was reducing. Hope that helps.

No, it does not work for bats, probably because bats transmit high frequency sounds themselves during navigation. Another person asked this same question and the manufacturer confirmed that it does not work for bats.

Not sure about that, it has worked on everything from yard to household insects for me, great product

I used it to listen for flying bats in the attic after finding some bat droppings. It is not designed to identify types of bats though with some research you might be able to identify species by listening to comparisons of known soundings. You can really hear the sonar calling when they are flying and that alone should tell you it is not another creature, like a mouse. I actually installed an infrared camera in the attic and security software on my PC. I then set the motion sensitivity very high. The first night I recorded a bat flying through the attic in total darkness but because of the infrared could see it perfectly. I used a one-way exit to evacuate the bat, sealed any holes in the attic then watched for the entire summer with the camera to see if any more bats got back in. None. It worked great for me. If outside I can hear them coming from probably 75 feet away as they swope down to hunt insects. I found using the specified batteries or equivalent improves the sensitivity over standard alkaline type. If you are hearing chirping it is probably not a bat.

I would assume it would be decent if you can get it close to their nesting area. I just know it worked on the bats but they rely on sonar and this makes noise so it seemed like a perfect fit. I would ask someone who say it got rid of their mice or rats though.

I haven't tried it but you should have no problem charging bat and device at same time. Think it will detract from bat over long run but should work

There is no way to know if the will come, but if placed as directed it should get some. Are there bats in your area now?

Dear J Z, for targeting bats the best settings are High Range, Variable Pitch, and Cont. Output. However, in some cases the fixed pitch has worked in the beginning. But we have found that variable is the better setting as it is using the up and down scale of sound frequency ranges like a squealing siren. Hope this helps!

It sure does. The bats sit on the outside of the bag in pockets to the side. The two pockets have an elastic openings as well as Velcro to hold the handle in place. Any size bat would fit. I have a 34inch 28 ounce bat in mine and it fits great.

Yes it should. I use it for softball bats and there is plenty of room for them.

I bought the BAT-250. My "guess" would be that it tests 1.5 volt batteries, and possibly not 3V. For six bucks you could try one and if not still use it for other things. But that does not answer your question.

I don't think the holes would stop bugs... But a bat won't be able to (or want to) go thru the holes. Take a look at the picture - the roll is about 4 or 5 inches wide, the mesh is like a kitchen scrubby pad. The idea is that critters don't like to touch/taste this stuff - that's what keeps them out. In use, you stuff wads of this stuff in the hole(s) that critters are using as entry points - after which, the critters will be strongly discouraged.

yes this works great for skunks, at least here in texas where we have foxes too, we have mobile homes and when the skunk decides to make his nest under them let me tell you its tough gettin em out. you can use old panty hose and make balls of this and throw them under the mobile home and sprinkle it around the perimeter and they will be GONE we've been using this product for years and it WORKS, now after a while the smell goes away and they will come back but then another treatment of this, and they're hasta la vista baby

Bats no, but it did not work against birds on the balcony so I guess it wont work against bats either.

Works great for bats - see my full review for details how to set it all up.

I put a couple in a small barn for bat control only and it worked great for the first year, so we will see about this year... I use to get a few birds flying into the barn, but since you asked, I realized they are not there anymore. Great!! I was concentrating on Bats, so if you want birds to stay, I am not sure it would work, but if you can call the supplier, they are very helpful. Good Luck Duane Mitch

I would imagine it would, I don't know for a fact, but I seen a little league coach letting his young player use it for batting practicefor the young players to hit

I am sorry, I have not tried this for skunks. You might want to contact your state's extension service to get their advice about whether this device would cause skunks to spray or just make them run away. A pest exterminator might also have some ideas about how a skunk would react.
