Dr. T’s Nature Products® Bat-A-Way™ keeps bats, birds, rabbits and squirrels out of your attic, chimney, rafters, garages, wall voids, flower beds and more!

Made with naphthalene, Bat-A-Way™ causes uncomfortable respiratory fluctuations on critters, prompting them to leave the area in search of fresh air. This product contains the only EPA-registered bat repellent and lasts up to four weeks after application. 4 lb. granular presentation covers 1600 sq. ft.

Bats and birds are both vectors for zoonotic pathogens (carriers and spreaders of disease that can be spread to humans) and, as such, are unwelcome residents within any part of your home, including chimneys and attics, as well as areas between walls, floors, ceilings and rafters.

Rather than killing or trapping the wayward critter, why not use a simple, granular product that humanely encourages them to exit the way that they came in?

For indoor use, apply Bat-A-Way™ at a rate of 1 lb. per 400 cu. feet. Place smaller amounts in a mesh bag, cheese cloth, panty hose, or small, open-topped cardboard container so that the product can be moved easily, should the odor become too strong. Animals will depart from treated areas shortly. Once critters have left, be sure to close all access points off to prevent further intrusion.

For outdoor usage in prevention of plant intrusion by rabbits, place  Bat-A-Way™ in bands around roses, spring bulbs, flowers or other plants. Do not apply directly to foliage or plant stems.

Dr. T’s Nature Products® offers a variety of innovative solutions to effectively control nuisance animals and insects by providing powerful, natural products for your specific needs.

How It Works

Dr. T’s Nature Products® Bat-A-Way™ works by causing temporary respiratory distress forcing the target animal to leave the area.  This migration technique is a proven result of our Dr. T’s Nature Products®. Bat-A-Way™ is long-lasting, remaining effective for up to 4 weeks.

*Note: After application and to prevent future infestations, seal up all cracks and openings into the home.

All About Bats...

General Bat Facts

Bats are mammals. There are about 1,000 species of bats

on this planet, although there are only about 40 species of bats in North America. Bats are found in every continent and country of our world except for a few

isolated islands, Antarctica and the Arctic region.

The largest bat in the world, the Malaysian Flying Fox, is found in the rainforests of southeast Asia, has a 5-6 foot wing span!  Although they look scary due to their large size,

these bats are actually fruit eaters and do not attack humans or pets.  The tiniest bat, the bumblebee bat, is lighter than a penny!

Bat Reproduction

In almost all species of bats, the male and female only get together for mating. The female bat will gather with other female bats to bear their young, creating large colonies of females.  The mother bat hangs right side up to give birth, catching her baby in a "safety net" formed with her wings.

Bat Habitat

Bats hunt at night, and sleep during the day, hanging upside down in a cave, tree or other protected area, including homes and buildings. In these locations, bats find refuge from bad weather and predators as well as a safe place to have their families. The problems with bats arise when they roost in attics, between walls, and other places in the home.

Bat Diet

Most bats, including those in North America, eat insects such as mosquitoes, moths, crickets, gnats, roaches, beetles, and ants. Some of these insectivores can consume between 600 to 1000 mosquitoes and insects in a single hour!

Other - Bat Communication and Hunting

Through echolocation, a method using ultrasound and echoes, bats are able to locate prey as well as communicate with other bats.  Bats are not blind, but their radar sensing is much more useful and better than their eyesight, especially since they are active at night!

Rabies

Bats are not the main carrier of rabies; in fact, skunks and foxes are more likely to have rabies than bats.  Here in the United States the incidence of rabies from bats is extremely rare. 

Even in South America, where vampire bats can be found, contracting rabies from a bat is rare because humans are not typically the target of these bats.

Inside the Home
