WCS Bat Cone II One-Way Bat Excluder - 6" Reusable Polyethylene Exit Cone for Attics, Soffits & Rooflines - Humane Bat Removal, Bats Exit But Cannot Return - Professional Wildlife Control

Really surprised at how well this worked. Had bats living in my attic for a couple of months and didn't know where to begin but I figured I would start with one of these exclusion devices. I was skeptical as to if it would work or not but installed where the vinyl soffit meets the bricks and put two small screws into the vinyl through the tabs on the cone itself and then sealed around it with some duct tape. That evening they begin to come out one by one and were not able to make their way back in. Left up for a couple of weeks to make sure they had all evacuated and then sealed the small entrance with some Great Stuff. Worked excellently!

Once installed correctly, it works pretty good. Just hope they won't find another opening somewhere. The key is to seal the house very tight so they won't find other entrance. Pray they never return... Only wish is this thing can be cheaper and I can install at various locations.

Seems a bit overpriced, which brings the 4star review. Necessary to safely evict our bats. Well-made.

This works perfectly as described! The installation was easy and had the bats out quickly.

They struggled to get through the tube if it was a little longer and little wider at the end it would have been better. My makeshift paper towel cardboard wrapped in duct tape then taped to small piece of cardboard worked so much better. Price duct tape . Though this was made well just not good.

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”.

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!

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.

Bit expensive for what it is, but it does allow you to seal up the access points and still allow the wildlife to escape, but not be able to return, without harm to the wildlife, so other than being made out of plastic is sustainable. Easy to put up and fix with tangs that fold out of the way allowing a neat fix.
