STEPS FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER BAT REMOVAL FROM HOMES & BUILDINGS

Step 1 - Identify Problem Areas

You have made the first step in removing bats from your structure by purchasing The Bat Valve. You have probably had a bat in the house or found bat guano in the attic or wall space in most cases. Bats are great for the eco-system but detrimental for your health when they are found living inside an occupied structure. Bats carry and transmit many zoophytic diseases to humans, including the rabies virus Bats also host several ectoparasites, such as fleas and bat bugs, which can infest your home or office. The bat guano can accumulate and expose occupants to toxic fungal spore histoplasmosis.

First, start the bat eviction process by locating the main entry/exit points on the structure. You will perform a bat watch near dusk and watch for where they fly out. The best way to find these locations is to look over the building for construction gaps closely. Common places for bat entry are gable vents, sot returns, masonry gaps, and brick gaps along the frieze boards. In most cases, you will find bat guano around the entry location on the building's exterior.

Step 2 - Start Bat Exclusion

Once you have identified entry locations around the structure start the bat exclusion process (sealing of gaps). Many products can be used to seal bat entry points. If you find that you also have rodents accessing the building, be sure to use chew-proof, products such as sheet metal and wire mesh so your repairs aren’t compromised.

How many bat valves to install?

The number of bat eviction devices to use depends on the number of bats occupying the home, church, or business. For instance, if a house has 3 separate attics, it would be necessary to install at least 1 bat evictor on each area if signs of bat entry are present. If bats are colonized or in large numbers, it is also recommended to install several bat tubes to allow for sufficient egress. If not enough bat valves are used or installed in the wrong location, bats may become trapped inside and die/find their way into the living space.

Step 3 - Installation of Bat Valves

Important: All Gaps must be sealed (other than the ones you have selected to install The Bat Valve over), or the bats will use the other entry points to get back in. Now that all other gaps are sealed on the structure install the bat valves over the remaining holes that the bats tend to use most. The TBV-FR4 and TBV-Flex2 are both attached by using screws. The TBV-SG3 is generally held in place by compression. When installing each device, be sure that there are no gaps left around the outside as bats will try to squeeze back in. You can place copper/steel mesh, excluder fabric, caulking, foam, or other materials around the bat valves to ensure no gaps are left. The bat tube which extends from the bat valve adapter is self-supporting. The end of this tube MUST be positioned in a way where bats cannot crawl back inside. Be sure to elevate/position the end, extending up to the roof or away from the building. See Images Below Highlighted In Transparent Red.
