Homemade Bat Repellent

By Home & Garden Last updated Monday, May/06/2024

1). Check state laws regarding bat-control methods. Bats are often protected species, so it is important to determine what the state allows before making any repellent.
2). Add water, Sponto 221, mustard oil and sassafras oil to the bowl. If 10 cups of water are used, add approximately 5 tsp. of sponto 221, mustard oil and sassafras oil to make the repellent.
3). Put the repellent in attics or areas where the bats congregate. Take care when putting the repellent down, and cover up completely beforehand to prevent potential diseases. Cover your nose and mouth as well as your body.
4). Put bird nets up around entrances the bats use when they leave. This prevents the bats from coming back into the house.
