we put liquid paper on a bee, it died

Brake cleaner does a great job of killing them as well. It also does good at killing bats.

Why would you want to kill bats?

Why would you want to kill bats?

I had a feeling someone would ask me that question.



When I used to work at the Ford dealer, the building was pretty old. And there was one hole in a concrete pillar where sometimes a bat or two would hide during the day. We had times leaving in the evening with doors closed that they would come out and fly around while we were still there. Even got dived at a few times. Plus when they were in there they made annoying squeaking sounds.

So we used brake cleaner with the straws on the nozzle and sprayed it in the hole. After a few sprays in there the bat/s was dead.

Otherwise I haven't messed with them. Just there.

I asked Daddy to build a bat house. So hopefully We'd get more bats to stay around, to eat more bugs.

Spiders eat bugs too... you need more spiders

I don't need more, but I don't let anyone kill the ones we have.

well like I said we had a few times where they dove at us while we would be getting ready to leave. Plus when you're trying to diagnose a sound on a vehicle hearing constant squeaking really doesn't help!


I wasn't the one to normally kill them. The tech who's bay was right next to that hole was the one to normally do it.

You could just shoot all the bugs with your KEG

I'm sure target rounds with #9 shot would work great for that.

Sure that'd be fun but

Bug Zapper? Fogger?

Ok then do what I do, just use your shoes/boots and or junk mail


A small stack of junk mail taped together should work nicely as a cheap bug swatter. And if you get it all covered with bug guts, you won't have to clean it. You can just throw it away.

See what happens when I leave you people alone?

We'd need bout 42 zappers and don't wanta fog cause of the chickens.
What you got against bats?

What? We have a nice conversation on killing bugs? And occasional bats?



I don't see a problem there.

nothing against bats.... just figured if you have that many bugs maybe a few methods could help.

The method that works best for me is to have as little skin showing as possible.
