So, have you just bought a new house in the countryside? Maybe it is not new; actually, let’s face it if those walls could talk… Still, that is part of its charm! In the end, what is better than a lovely rustic place of your own away from traffic jams, pollution, and noisy cars? Yes, you finally have that place to get away from it all!

Whether it is for a few weekends every month, or to send your children away from the pollution, stress and, let’s be honest, even the dangers of city life during the summer months, you now have a place you can call your home to go to…

Set in the best surroundings you could possibly find, maybe surrounded by wild fields and forests, rivers and mountains, that lovely place of yours has been empty for some time, but that is the place your heart wants to call home… Perhaps you are even considering retiring to this beautiful spot in the country when you are older, or when you can afford it? Great!

Maybe you have decided to live in the countryside, as some friends of mine have done, to grow up your children? You have left the city and, having found that beautiful cottage, farm, or old house, you have invested all your savings and are ready to make the big step and move in? Let me tell you that I am really happy about your choice; I understand it and support it wholeheartedly.

So you are looking forward to a bucolic life surrounded by green trees, wild prairies, birds, and butterflies? Many days of joy will be coming to you in the year to come… However as you actually move in, or start inhabiting the place, you notice something you had not spotted at all when you first visited the place during the day…

Yes, because when you spend your first night in your new home, your attention is caught by some unusual movements and sounds above your head. “Well, I don’t mind,” you think at first, “there must be some birds on the roof; they will soon go…”

But days go by and the little sounds (not chirps, you realize) continue, so does the nighttime activity… So, you decide to take the ladder and have a look at who dwells in your attic. But, to your surprise, when you get up there, instead of finding birds, you find little mammals closely related to mice, but with wings… Yes, you guessed: I am talking about bats!

“What can I do now?” I understand; your question is more than natural. Just bear with me and you will find out everything you need to know about these little animals and – more importantly – how to get rid of them.

Are Bats Dangerous to Humans?

Bats are not usually aggressive to humans (with some exceptions, like Vampire Bats, who live in South and Central America, who have been known to attack people even if very rarely). So, forgetting horror movies like Dracula and the like, you will not likely be under direct attack by these little nocturnal animals.

However, some bats carry viruses and bacteria that can be dangerous to us. The risk of infection is actually quite low, but if you handle them, it rises significantly. That is why only trained and vaccinated people should catch bats. Some of the diseases they carry are as follows:

ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus), which is quite scary, as it has symptoms, not unlike those of rabies; as its name suggests, this is peculiar of Australia (Queensland, to be exact).
Hendra Virus, which you can contract through close contact with horse bodily fluids (especially urine) previously infected by Flying Foxes.

Leptospirosis, which is contracted through contact with bat urine.
Salmonella, which, again, you can catch through close contact with a series of animals, including bats.
Histoplasmosis, which you can contract by touching a bat or visiting their caves and dwellings (your attic, for example). This is actually a very rare infection.

However, apart from medical problems, the issue with having bats in your attic may be that they can be a real nuisance, especially because of their feces. Moreover, if you want to use your attic, maybe as storage or to redecorate and add living space to your new home, you will have to clear your attic from them.

How Do You Deal with Bats in Attic?

To start with, you need to realize that bats are very useful animals indeed; they eat many flying insects like mosquitoes, which, remember, could be an even worse nuisance than the little mammals themselves. Having said this, if you have thought long and hard about the problem and you have come to the conclusion that you need to get rid of them, here are a few preliminary tips that you may wish to consider before I introduce you to an innovative, safe, cheap and ethical solution.

To start with, absolutely avoid physical contact with bats. If you have read the previous section, you will know that this is the main cause of infection with viruses and bacteria that can be noxious to humans. There is no need to take unnecessary risks.

Secondly, remember to avoid using pesticides and chemicals to get rid of them. To be honest, the damage caused by these products to the very place you live in is usually quite significant. Remember that if you choose to use poison, it will be above your head for a long time, and it may even pollute the air you breathe or get into your water supply, especially if your house is old and so is its plumbing.

You may wish to get a pest control professional; unfortunately, though, few specialize in bats and they will use chemicals too. Moreover, you may want to look after your finances and consider that their intervention may cost you very, very dear indeed. Moreover, nowadays there are innovations that make their intervention unnecessary, as we will see.

Avoid traps; to start with, they hardly work. You would need to keep checking every day, getting into physical contact with the animals. Moreover, they can only catch some of the flying mammals every day, so, they take a very, very long time to solve the problem. Finally, they are not humane!

A New, Cheap, Safe and Ethical Solution to Get Rid of Bats

Do you know how bats find and catch their prey? Do you know how they can navigate in the dark? The chances are you do, but in case, let us remind ourselves: they use ultrasounds. Ultrasounds are waves (a bit like the sounds we hear every day) but beyond the range which human ears can perceive (which is 20,000 Hertz).

So, even if you cannot hear them, they are sending signals into the air to find out trees, mosquitoes, insects, and other bats. They use them instead of eyes; their efficiency is impressive, as they can avoid an obstacle with a split second’s notice.

Why am I saying this? Because the solution to your bat problem comes from their own ‘hearing and speaking system’. Yes, in fact, as they can hear ultrasounds very well, all you need to do is produce ultrasounds that they find uncomfortable and they will leave! Simple and clear, isn’t it? However the problem is that humans cannot produce ultrasounds (not even great sopranos, sorry…) So, what can we do?

Don’t worry, because science and technology have come together to give us the perfect solution: Ultrasonic Bat Repellent by Pest Destruct!

Does It Actually Work?

You can bet it does! In fact, Ultrasonic Bat Repellent by Pest Destruct is much more efficient than traps, poison, and all other methods. What happens? Well, put simply, this small and practical machine once switched on, sends off ultrasonic sounds that you will not even hear but your unwelcome guests will; they will find them disturbing and fly away, leaving your attic to you!

In fact, the manufacturers of Ultrasonic Bat Repellent are so sure that it will work perfectly fine that, if it does not get bats packing within an incredibly short time, 72 hours (!!!) they offer a full no-hassle money-back guarantee. If this is not an assurance that it works, what is?

“How do I use it?” you may ask; well, that is yet again very, very easy indeed. If you chose to use poison, apart from the health and environmental hazard you would be running, you would need to read instructions, place it in strategic places, use gloves, make sure that none of your family would get in touch with it, etc.

If you chose traps, yet again you would need to set them, check them, get your hands dirty, dispose of the corpses, etc. In both cases, you would need to check the progress of your disinfestation daily. Instead, if you use Ultrasonic Bat

Repellent instead, all you need to do is open the packaging, choose a suitable place in your attic (where the ultrasounds can be heard well, possibly fairly high), place it on top of a cupboard or attach it to a wall, switch it on and walk away. Ultrasonic Bat Repellent will do all the rest, and the beauty of it is that you will not even notice that you have it in your home.

Why kill bats, spend lots of money, time, and run health risks when you can simply whistle them away?
