BatPak™, founded by John and Jill Kolb, transforms how homeowners handle bat infestations. With over 20 years of expertise in the bat mitigation business, the Kolbs have built a brand that combines their knowledge and passion for result-based solutions. The BatPak mission centers on providing homeowners with effective, humane, and DIY-friendly tools to safely evict bats while protecting these vital creatures and maintaining ecological balance.

The BatPak™ Mission

At its core, BatPak is dedicated to peaceful coexistence between humans and bats. Recognizing the critical role bats play in the ecosystem, BatPak has developed humane eviction systems that help with the safety of bats while protecting homes from infestations. Guided by values like old-fashioned honesty, DIY spirit, and genuine expertise, BatPak empowers homeowners to solve their bat problems without harming these federally protected animals.

What Sets BatPak™ Apart?

BatPak’s approach to bat mitigation is unlike anything else on the market. Here’s why:

  1. Contact-Free and Ethical
    BatPak’s solutions do not involve trapping, harming, or killing bats. Instead, their patented Bat Slide® is a one-way door, allowing bats to exit the home and prevent their return.
  2. Comprehensive DIY Kit


The BatPak Bat Eviction Kit includes everything needed to evict bats humanely, seal entry points, and ensure they don’t return. Each kit contains:

  • Patented Bat Slide®
  • Color-match flashing metal
  • BatSeal® sealant
  • Expanding foam
  • Hardware mesh
  • Screws and a step-by-step guide.
  1. Easy-to-Follow Process
    BatPak provides detailed instructions and video tutorials, making it accessible even for first-time DIYers.
  2. Commitment to Innovation
    With over two decades of field experience, BatPak continuously improves its products to meet homeowners’ needs efficiently and effectively.

How the Bat Eviction Process Works

  1. Identify Bat Infestation and Entry Points
    Look for signs such as bat droppings, rustling noises, or ammonia-like odors to confirm an infestation. Identify all potential entry points in your home.
  2. Plan Installation
    Determine how many Bat Slides you need and prepare materials to seal secondary openings.
  3. Seal Secondary Entry Points
    Use the supplied BatSeal™, foam, and flashing metal to close off all but the main bat entry point.
  4. Install the Bat Slide®
    Place the Bat Slide at the primary entry point to allow bats to exit without reentry.
  5. Wait for Bats to Leave
    We recommend waiting 14 days, as nighttime temperatures are above 45°F, bugs are active (e.g., around porch lights), and adding an extra day for heavy rain or high winds.
  6. Remove the Bat Slide® and Clean
    Once bats are gone, seal the final entry point and safely clean up guano using proper protective equipment.
  7. Celebrate Your Success
    You’re officially bat-free! Use BatPak’s discount cards to share the solution with neighbors.

FAQs About Bat Mitigation

  1. Will I need to touch or capture bats?
    No! The Bat Slide® helps with bats exiting your home on their own.
  2. How do I know if I have bats?
    Look for signs like bat droppings, strange noises, or ammonia-like odors.
  3. Do new roofs or siding close bat entry points?
    Often, these changes create new openings for bats. It’s essential to seal all gaps properly.
  4. What tools will I need to use the BatPak™ kit?
    You’ll need a ladder, tin snips, a drill or driver, a hex nut drive, and a caulk gun.
  5. Is bat eviction seasonal?
    Yes, timing depends on your location. Avoid eviction during hibernation or maternity seasons.

With BatPak™, John and Jill Kolb have created a brand that combines innovation, compassion, and expertise to address bat mitigation humanely and effectively.
