Effective Strategies for Bat Prevention on Porches and Patios

To keep bats away from your porch or patio, eliminate their food source by using yellow-tinted lights to reduce the number of insects attracted to the area. Create an unpleasant environment for bats by using strong natural odors like mint or cinnamon. Install plexiglass to prevent bats from roosting, and use deterrents such as plastic owls, helium-filled Mylar balloons, and wind chimes to scare them away.
