Batcone® 2–The innovative design of the Batcone® 2 is ideal when
a square shape is better suited to the entry port of a bat colony. It is designed
with a built-in solid flange with mounting holes which allows easy and fast
installation. It can also be used with the flexible vinyl flange, making it
effective for virtually any surface application. For best results with Batcone®
2, bend flanges slowly back and forth to prevent breakage
- At dawn or dusk, which is the best time to conduct a “bat watch”,
observe points of entry / exit for bats in structure
- Incoming / outgoing bat activity will assist in determining number of cones
needed for installation (see DVD for more detailed information) For large
bat colonies, use multiple cones for best results
- Install cones at entry points, always at a downward angle…it is CRITICAL
to seal all other entry / exit points
before installing cones strategically to prevent bats from
moving to other sections of structure
- After bats leave structure to feed and you are certain they are all outside
the structure, remove remaining cones and seal all holes
A WORD OF CAUTION
PLEASE NOTE THAT REMOVING BATS DURING THEIR BIRTHING CYCLES CAN RESULT IN THE
