Bat Repellant - There is nothing worse than climbing into your attic to search for something, turning the light on, and having a bat hanging there staring at you. This has happened to me one too many times and I’ve started to avoid going into my attic. I did some research about how to get rid of bats and found some very helpful tips. Some companies sell chemicals or sprays that they claim are very effective as a bat repellant. However, most of what I have read contradicts the fact that there is nothing specific that can be sprayed to act as a bat repellant permanently.
However, there are many actions that you can take that will act as a bat repellant and be effective on a much more permanent basis. I hate the idea of bats living in my attic because of the diseases they can carry and transmit. Should they managed to make their way out of my attic and into the rest of my house, I can only imagine how I’d react. It amazes me as to how tiny of an entrance bats can use when they decide to live inside of your home. Sealing all openings is the very first thing that you can do to ensure that they cannot get inside anymore. However, before you do seal everything permanently, make sure that all of the bats are out of your attic. If they get trapped inside, they likely will try to find other ways of escaping and could end up flying around your living room.
An article by an expert suggested turning on the lights. Bats aren’t likely to stick around when the atmosphere is well lit and not conducive toe their darker lifestyle. He recommended that illuminating your attic corners is a great bat repellant. He also recommended that turning the lights on when the bats are hibernating can end their existence by causing them to die. Playing loud music can also be an excellent bat repellant. Bats are not fans of loud noises, and playing loud music will keep them from sticking around for too long. If you’re planning on sealing all entrances, there is something called a glue board.that you are told to place right underneath their chosen entranceway. That may need replacing daily.
I’d suggest that if your chosen bat repellant involves death for the creatures, you check to make sure that you state doesn’t have them listed as one of their protected animals. If they are, you will have to choose a different method. And remember - when all else fails, call for the animal experts.
