Bat Cone II Reusable Bat Excluder – Humane One-Way Entry Capture Device by Wildlife Control Supplies – Safe & Effective Bat Catcher for Commercial & Residential Use – Great for Roofs, Garages & Sheds

after trying everything from spraying the house down with peppermint oil and mentholatum on the flashing where they were getting in at the roof line to, to all the sound rodent deterrents and lights i placed in attic, even drilling holes and trying to fill the wall with spray foam. the only thing that worked was the bat cones and they were gone within a few days and have not been back since even while it is still 100 degrees here in Oklahoma and mosquito season. would highly recommend if you are at your wits end and just want you \r house back they (i bought two and spray foamed them both in to the openings at the roof line) really did let them out and not back in as i watched them one night outside while drinking my sweet tea they would leave and then upon returning flap around it before heading to the neighbors house down the street.

Last winter I discovered that I had a "guest" in the house. It took a few days to figure out that it was a bat and not a mouse. It took longer to figure out that it got in by an unlevel ceiling tile in a suspended ceiling. I looked up advice online about how to get rid of my bat. The Batcone was the most recommended way by bat experts. I had to wait until the weather warmed up before doing a bat "exclusion" as it involved leaving a window open wide enough to get the Batcone in and then sealing the rest of the window opening so that no other creatures looking for comfort could take up housing in my abode. Fortunately, my friendly bat would fly back up in the attic during the day. My son was finally able to get the Batcone in the window and seal around the edges of the Batcone, as well as seal around the rest of the window that was open. It took a few days before we realized that the bat had literally flown the coop. We replaced the unlevel ceiling tile, and voila...BAT FREE! I would highly recommend the Batcone to anyone who is in a similar situation. The Batcone is designed so that once the bat flies out, he cannot get back in. Well worth every penny!

Worked well but we weren't confident that the bats wouldn't come back in thru the end, so we taped the ziploc bag it came in around the end and cut the very bottom of the bag off to make a sleeve to ensure that they could get out and definitely not come back in. Better safe than sorry. We are saving it in case we have problems elsewhere in the future.

First review I have written! Woke up the morning leaving for vacation to see bats flying out of our soffit. Began researching and stressing over the cost of pest removal, and came across the bat cone. Thought what do we have to loose. It arrived same day we got home. Took us 15 mins to install with screen around it. That night we watched 7 bats fly out! Continue to monitor and have not had any come back. Best $25 I spent! Saved us hundreds. Thank you

In my application the batcone couldn't be angled enough downward. The bats just slid in and out. I took a 1 1/2" diameter piece of PVC and slid over the batcone, 14" long extension at the same angle.

I’m glad this thing worked for some people. I had a different result, however. I installed it at about a 45 degree downward angle and sealed about it good. I watched an agitated bat leave and fly around and around it on the first night at dusk and I thought I was on track. I planned to leave it on for about 5 days when on the third morning at dawn I went to observe it while having coffee and I saw a bat circling it again. I thought it was just agitated on not being able to return home when I saw it somehow land in the right spot and crawl up into the cone and return to where it had been. Apparently that had been happening all along. I immediately ripped it off and will be going to plan “B”.

I’m sure this would do a good job, but one of the screw flaps was broken. Retuned.

Great for the use of removal of bats.
