Bonide Bat Magic Bat Repellent, Pack of 4 Ready-to-Use Peppermint Oil Scent Packs for Long Lasting Indoor Bat Control

Works great. Took care of my unwanted visitors quickly!

I work at home and heard what I believe was a bat or mouse in my attic. After going into the attic, I saw 2 bats hanging on the screen of my gable vent. They were on outside but still a threat to get inside the attic. Whatever I heard was inside the attic. I bought 2 boxes of Bat Magic. I placed all 8 (4 per box) inside the knee walls and attic area......after 1 day, no more bats hanging on the gable screen or noises from my attic. It does leave a peppermint smell, but not overwhelming. I hope they are truly long lasting, if this really works, I will definitely purchase again. I also hope mice hate the smell as much as bats!........after 3 days the bats are back

I live in Northern California in a heavily wooded area with a lot of beautiful homes. It's beautiful up here lots of Wildlife, and small Mouse eared bats, great for the environment they eat a lot of bugs and mosquitoes and are protected. If you have a bat problem, do yourself a big favor before you spend tons of money on bat tubes, electronic devices, deterrent sprays, bat boxes, and try bat Magic first. I was amazed. And I am a skeptical person when it comes to throwing money away. My bat family moved into my three canned porch lights on my front porch. Everyday I was walking through bat poop, and was afraid they would get into my attic like they have with a lot of my neighbors who bought all the expensive tubes and stuff and it never helped. And oh yes don't fall for putting a bat box on your pine tree to relocate them from your porch, the idea is to make them leave your property. Well that's another story. So I called the company talked to a nice guy and for $22 I got two boxes with four pouches, again still skeptical. I put a pouch in each canned light on my porch, swept the bat poop off like I do everyday and waited. This is day four, no bat poop, no bats. One bat tube from Amazon was $49 and I needed three, very humane, the peppermint and spearmint oils in the pouches is like a bat putting their head into a jar of Vicks Vapor Rub and off the Little Devils go. Again just amazing. Be aware of installing a bat box near your house, the expert said. Because you're just encouraging them to stay on your premises.

I have a bat that keeps coming into the house - I can't batproof the outside of the house until August so I have been working to batproof the inside but this little turd keeps getting in somehow. I got these repeller packs in hopes they would deter the bat, but they haven't. They do smell nice, though. Initially the smell is very strong, but either they lose their power or I go smell-blind within a couple hours.

I had bats (2) nesting on my patio, up high about 22 feet in the patio beams. Could not get rid of them with bright lights. I tacked a couple of these packs up on the beams and then distrubed the bats and they never came back.

I tried one of the ultrasonic devices and a strobe light, neither of which worked as the bat never moved the least little bit. I bought these as a last attempt before having to pay a bat removal company. I threw all 4 that came in the box and as you can see from the picture they landed right under where the bar was. That evening the bat moved down and left the attic. Very happy I gave these a try.

Didn't do much of anything.

Our house was once a barn so the cellar is pretty primitive (a near dirt cellar) but our cat loves it. But when he started to bring bats upstairs (either dead or pretending to be) I was a bit freaked out. After asking several people (contractors, exterminators, etc) who are familiar with bats in old (200+year) New England homes, the general consensus was that the only solution would be to not let the cat in the basement which, I guess, would have been doable if we had NOT just cut a hole to create a cat door and moved his litter box down there. Our vet said that any "machine" that sends out a high pitched sound which the companies claim doesn't harm a cat was false-he would hear it and be bothered by it. (And then she put him on a yearly rabies shot routine rather than once every 3 years). So these bags were my only option and I didn't have any high hopes that they would actually work since the exterminator said he had never even heard of them. But they were cheap enough so I bought a 4 pack and literally just tossed them in the one small room that I suspected was the only room the bats could be in and voila. No more bats. I bought a second pack a few months later because it says that the smell fades after a few but that was a year ago. I think the bats have left for good! After reading some of the reviews, I think that the scent bags are really made for somewhat hidden areas where bats have lived for awhile and which are kind of inaccessible for humans. I'm not sure the product would do much for the occasional stray bat that may be flying around one's home. Get a tennis racket and open a window for that scenario.
