User questions & answers

Question:	I've read that the cedar needs to be aired out because bats do not like woods with strong scents. Has this already been aired out
Answer:	I purchased this item but had to return as the light wouldn't mount up to the flagpole I was using, Sorry I couldn't be of more help:(
Question:	There any time that’s better to put a house up to try n get bats or it just whenever cause will take a while anyways
Answer:	The light has a 1/2" hole thru the center, which the bolt from the ball goes thru. So it doesn't matter the diameter of the pole, just that you need to have a 1/2" threaded hole in the top of the pole.
Question:	Will this box need to be painted or treated in any way to prevent rot
Answer:	Very bright white
Question:	If wasps move in, what is the best way to remove them? I assume that the canned spray would not be good for bats even after a period of time
Answer:	It seams to work well with any flag pole that has a 1/4" threaded ball or eagle on the top.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need bat attractants
Answer:	Fix it with flex seal
Question:	What are the best mounting screws to use
Answer:	I'm sure you've made your decision long ago, but before I bought it this was a question I wondered. Yes, it can. The solar fountain I got is small, just over 6" across. In fact with some fiddling I've gotten the fountain to hit the top decoration, which fills it and it trickles out the other side, making even more and nicer water sounds than without it. I use a few small rocks to keep the fountain in place and submerged to make sure it's got enough water.
Question:	How many bats dose it house
Answer:	This is 64 ounce ready to use bottle. It is intended to be poured straight from the bottle into the feeder. You will get 64 ounces of nectar out of the bottle.
Question:	What kind of wood is this house constructed of? Also, does it have any interior passage holes to allow for the bats to pass between chambers
Answer:	If the nectar is unopened, there is no shelf life. Once it has been opened, it can be stored for one month in the refrigerator.

User questions & answers

Question:	I just received this item and cannot find any hardware to hang the box or any instructions, thinking about returning it unless I am missing something

I purchased a pole and a bracket for a pole and mounted it that way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0149EZNI6/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=A2393ZJQLDRI0I&psc=1

Answer:	up to one hundred bats, but i have counted 75 bats coming out with lots of little babies still inside with other adults
Question:	Is it Western Red Cedar
Answer:	It is cedar but since the product is made in China I am not sure of the origin of the wood.

Landing Skerfs

Landing skerfs on the extended base of the house make it easier for bats to land and climb into the house.

Hanging Mesh

Easy Grip nylon hanging mesh gives bats a place to easily grip for hanging. Unlike metal mesh, nylon will not rust or corrode and will not scratch or cut bats. Nylon mesh will tear away if a bat's foot were to become stuck, ensuring bat safety.

Holds Up To 300 Bats

Bats are colony mammals and prefer to roost in larger groups. Extensive research shows that multi-chamber bat houses have higher occupancy rates than smaller, single-chamber designs.

Constructed with Rust-Free Hardware

Stainless steel screws are used in the construction of this bat house to ensure a secure, durable, and safe habitat for your bats to use for many years.

Attracting Bats

Existing evidence strongly suggests that using bat attractants or lures will not increase house occupancy rates. Extensive studies show that the number one bat attractant is a well-designed and quality-constructed bat house. Occupancy rate is highest in tall, multi-chamber house designs.

Another important bat attractant is a reliable source of food and water. Try incorporating flowers that stay open through the night or bloom through the evening into your landscape to attract night-flying insects. Cut down on or completely eliminate the use of pesticides in your yard.

Beneficial Bats

Insectivorous bats are capable of eating up to their own body weight in insect pests each night, helping to keep your yard free of a variety of pesky insects including mosquitoes. These same 'pest control services' also help keep a multitude of crops healthy by eating the insects that feed on them. By limiting insect damage to crops, and decreasing the amount of pesticides farmers must use to keep crops healthy, scientists have estimated that bats are worth more than $3.7 billion a year to the agriculture industry alone. Bats also join birds, bees, and butterflies on the list of pollinators, pollinating hundreds of plants across the world and accounting for a number of the many foods we enjoy. In fact, bats are considered a 'keystone species' in certain tropical and desert ecosystems where their pollinating and seed-dispersing activities are essential to the continuation of the food supply so many other animals depend on.

Installing your house

All bat houses should be mounted a minimum of 10 feet above ground, with 12-20 feet height being better. Houses should be installed facing East or South in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight (morning sun is preferable for locations where only partial sun is available). Be sure to place the house 20-30 feet from the nearest trees when possible to help protect the bats from predators. Locations close to a water source - preferably 1/4 mile or less - are often more successful. It is also important to install your bat house away from man-made light sources such as streetlights.

How quickly bats take up residence in a new house can depend on the location and time of year the house is erected. It is suggested to wait two full years before relocating or modifying an unoccupied house.

How It Works

The Balcony Gard is a low-profile bird control device that uses ultrasonic sound waves (silent to most humans, high-pitched and irritating to birds) to force away unwanted pest birds & small animals. The emitted sounds annoy pest birds & drives them away to areas that are more calm & untreated. Both motion-activated and continuous operation modes allow for easy operation & minimal maintenance.

Pests Repelled

The Balcony Gard works to deter pigeons, crows, blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, swallows, grackles, ducks, seagulls and gulls, rodents, bats, & more!

Where to Use

This ultrasonic device is perfect for small, covered outdoor areas up to 900 sq. ft. The Balcony Gard is ideal for balconies, porches, carports, patios, yards, garages, small pool areas, greenhouses, enclosed gardens, & more!

Installation

To install the Balcony Gard simply mount the device upon any surface. Uses either batteries or included 50 ft cord. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks to see the full effect of the unit; behavior modification can take time.

From the Manufacturer

THE BIRD-X DIFFERENCE: Bird-X has been the leading brand of safe and humane bird and pest control products for over 50 years. Based in Chicago, IL, our products are tested by experts over time and are continuously improved upon as new technologies become available. Offering a complete line of unique pest control products, we stand behind the efficacy of our solutions and provide excellent customer support. If you experience any problems with your Bird-X products, please email us through the form found at http://www.bird-x.com/contact-pages-31.php or call our offices at 800.662.5021. This type of pest control is popular because it is non-toxic, safe, easy-to-use, and often very effective. Products which use ultrasound to deter pests can NOT be as successful in all cases as dangerous poisons or expensive physical barriers. They DO work well enough that many people find them preferable to any other type. Any pest control product which deters live animals with unpleasant sensations will encounter some occasions when the pests are too stubborn and the incentive too great (food etc.)

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work on Egrets or Herons
Answer:	Not at all for my 2 corgis and I dont think it'll effect cats either. It's a totally different frequency, and I believe that is stated in the description too. I dont think you'll have any issues!!!
Question:	does this make noise
Answer:	I think it will work bc the sound travels well. It worked good the first year, like perfect, but they are coming back so I'm not sure if the sound isn't working anymore
Question:	Does it effect dogs
Answer:	I do not know about bats and flying squirrels. It is very effective on rodents, such as mice and rats. The unit seems to irritate them, to the point that they, the rodents, do not want to be near the units sound dispersal area.
Question:	Does this work with woodpeckers
Answer:	Better? The only way this could be a worse product is if it actually attracted mice. That said, it might, in fact attract mice. No whether the M793 attracts more mice than the M792, I couldn't tell you. All I can tell you is that this doesn't work.....at all. I'm surprised that a company like Victor with a reputation of making simple things that work would put their name on this gimmicky, worthless thing. Get yourself some real mouse traps...Victor mouse traps, or Google "5-gallon bucket mouse trap" and kill mice. Don't waste your money on this.

Bird-X Balcony Gard Ultrasonic Bird Repeller

Open spaces often seem impossible to protect, as pest birds can avoid the most common traps and deterrents. Fortunately, electronic bird deterrent devices produce extremely effective audio and visual threats that frighten, irritate and disorient birds — forcing them to seek calmer, untreated areas. Electronic bird repeller products condition pest birds to stay away from treated areas and never return.

Perfect for Residential Areas

The ultrasonic device is nearly silent to the human ear. Although you are not able to hear the sounds, the soundwaves cause unwanted pests to become annoyed and seek calmer areas.

This quiet, yet effective product helps to eliminate the problem without creating a nuisance for other residents and neighbors.

Easy to Control

Settings are available to adjust volume, sound range, and continuous or motion-activated modes. The Balcony Gard can be installed and mounted nearly anywhere with the ability to protect up to 900 square feet.

Forces out Various Pests

Effectively repels pigeons, crows, blackbirds, sparrows, starlings, swallows, grackles, ducks, gulls, rodents, bats, and more.

Able to be used in multiple locations such as balconies, porches, driveways, yards, rooftops, pools, gardens, and more. The possibilities are nearly endless to protect your property from unwanted pests.

Reduces Risks

Lowers the health risk associated with pest infestation, eliminates fire hazards caused by bird nesting upon vents and chimneys, and protects home-grown foods from destructive animals.

With worldwide distribution, the Chicago-based bird control company, established in 1964, manufactures a complete line of unique pest control products with an unmatched focus on quality and efficacy.
