Bat deterrent gel?
Hello,
I have a bat hanging nightly outside under a stucco awning in an acute angle that makes it an easy space to perch, and leaving droppings everywhere. Located in SoCal. I've tried to deter it with Mint spray without any luck. Wildlife control came out and quoted $400 to spread some gel and keep it away.
Can anyone direct me to a gel like that so I can DIY this? The only similar thing I found on Amazon is this, which doesn't seem like it's the same same thing: https://www.amazon.com/Bird-X-Bird-P...dp/B000MXJH72/.
Mint pest spray works for about 24 hours. I used it daily for 2 weeks, skipped one day, and the bat was back immediately. As I understand it, the gel not only smells but lasts a longtime and makes it difficult to cling to the stucco, which is why I was trying to find what product the pest control companies use.
I had planned a rubber snake as a last resort. It's right in the middle of the kitchen/bar/entertaining area and I was trying to avoid having that hanging there is possible, hence looking for this gel first.
Thanks.
