Most commercially available acoustic bat repellents are not effective because they are designed to scare bats. This is a mistake because once the bats get used to these devices, they come back. What is needed is a better solution, the BD100 ultrasonic bat deterrent.
An ideal bat deterrent does not try to scare, instead it simply interferes with one of the bats amazing natural abilities, the ability to navigate using sonar. In effect, the BD100 is a sonar jammer. This offers a permanent solution because bats have no natural ability to overcome it. Eventually the bats will be driven out of the area.
The BD100 is a professional grade ultrasonic bat deterrent that employs a proprietary new technology developed by Binary Acoustic Technology. We call this technology wideband ultrasonic masking. It generates a broadband signal that jams bat sonar making it difficult for bats to navigate, but not impossible.
Yes, these devices work. These initially were proof of concept designs for higher-powered units intended to be installed to deter bats from approaching industrial wind turbines. Today the BD100 can be used to temporarily drive bats from attics, bridges, or any other structure they prefer while a bat exclusion is conducted and the building sealed. A single unit may be used to keep bats out of tack rooms, garages with collectible cars, porches, or other areas where bats cause a problem in a specific place, but sealing the building may not be cost effective.
"Our trials all showed that the number is between three and fourteen days for full effect, zero bats" - Mark Jensen, inventor of the BD100
In 2018 BCM conducted trials on the BD100 in AZ and in FL and found them to be effective. Download our report:
Prolonged exposure to ultrasonic frequencies may cause human health issues or hearing damage. This device is not for use in the living spaces of occupied buildings. Do not use in bedrooms; sleeping next to BD100 is completely unadvised. For use in non-living spaces only such as attics, outbuildings, porches, and perhaps unfinished basements.
The BD100 is a low power unit that is designed specifically for residential use. It has an effective range of 17 feet which is perfect for a porch area or a small attic. Simply hang it from a ceiling or a beam and connect the timer unit to a nearby wall outlet and let it go to work. The timer and power supply unit is a wall mount unit. It will operate up to four BD100 units simultaneously.
