What Sets BatPak™ Apart?

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

• Patented Bat Slide®
• Color-match flashing metal
• BatSeal® sealant

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.
