how does it work on bats

Hi! JoyceIt works brilliantly for bats that's the main reason why I purchased it.I had one over 12 months ago and I recommended it to friends and neighbours in Barbados.Bats completely gone but still have the P3 switched on to prevent further infestation.RegardsGloria

I have heard 12-24 feet, not in a tree; don't know if this is backed by anything but Google had the answer. Mine is on the back of my garage and has several bats in it.

I know, it's just the bat box. But I did research and found that they need to be placed high and near water. I hung mine facing south and didn't purchase any scent..But it worked find and I have a nice group of bats and a lot less bugs..

It works well. You have to make sure you pick up any leaves off the ground and if trees are near a fence spray the lower part of the fence. Leaves left on the ground can re-infect the tree since peach leaf curl is a fungus.

No noise, normal heat expected. Bats charge as long as needed, depends on the bat rating as well as how discharged it is. Overall its the fastest reliable charger that I have.

You may wish to treat for the benefit of the bats depending on your climate. It is recommended to paint the roof and sides brown or black in colder climates to keep the bats warm (see map). Do not paint the inside or the landing area so the paint does not affect the bats. This map has color recommendations based on climate: http://www.batcon.org/pdfs/bathouses/ColorRecs.pdf

There's no physical reason that you cannot. But, you'll find that bats may be less likely to take up residence in a tree. They tend to like clear, calm access to the entrance...

I can't answer that - all I can tell you is that we had a bat in the house - and after installing it on the first floor - no more bats. We hung it at an angle so that the sound bounces off the floor and walls and ceiling.

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 have two of these bat houses down here in Texas. Each have approximately 200 to 300 bats. It will take a couple of years before you begin to see bats inhabiting the houses, but when they do, it is a real enjoyment watching them leave at dusk each night and arrive each morning. The weather is probably a little milder here than in NJ, but the warm weather should bring bats around. The bats will hibernate during the winter and leave, only to return when the weather warms up. There is no need to paint the house as they are made with cedar. To attract the bats you can use some attractant that Amazon sells online. However I used bat manure I got from the man across the way and made a compound using water to spread on the lip of the opening. It seemed to work better. It may be hard to find where you live unless you know someone who would have a bat house, too. Like I said it is very fulfilling when you finally get some bats to watch each evening. It's amazing that 500 hundred bats could fit into a small place like that. Hope you're as fortunate as we were to get bats to come. Enjoy.

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.

I do not know. I never had any. I bought it to use for squirrels and it did work, though some came back. I need to move the unit around. Sorry I can't be of any help with the bats.

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

Unless you're planning on batting by method of leaving it out on the street and letting the bat take on a Steam Roller, a Mastodon, or an airplane landing on it, I haven't had much trouble. This bat has been awesome so far. If you want something more "traditional" go wooden. But for the price, this thing's is as reliable as 'Ol reliable. I would've said Old Yeller, but we know where that story goes.

Not sure , unless they step in it. It might be worth a try if you know where they roost. Birds never come back, because the stuff if wicked sticky, and if bats have feet, they will surely react the same. Hope this helps.
