Operating Instructions
The BugWomp-BEU features several adjustment switches to optimize its performance:
- Unbalanced or Stereo: Adjusts sound projection for maximum coverage and effectiveness.
- Speaker Test: A button to quickly check if the ultrasonic speakers are functioning. When pressed, a slightly audible tone will be heard.
- Frequency Control: Dynamic adjustment that shifts ultrasonic frequencies to help drive bats away. Options typically include High Bat and Low Bat settings.
- Sound Pattern:
- Solid Horn: Delivers steady ultrasonic repelling power.
- Alarm Cycle: Disrupts with dynamic bursts to keep bats unsettled and prevent adaptation.
Experiment with different settings to find the most effective combination for your specific situation. Changing settings periodically can help prevent bats from adapting.

Placement Guidelines
Proper placement is crucial for the effectiveness of the BugWomp-BEU unit. Each unit covers up to 7000 square feet in open areas.
Indoor Placement Best Practices:
- Plug directly into a wall outlet.
- Avoid obstructions for best coverage.
- Place in the same room where bats are present.
- If no outlet is available in an attic, consider using a light socket adapter with outlets.
Outdoor Placement Best Practices:
- Use an extension cord if needed to reach desired locations.
- Aim the unit towards bat entry points for optimal results.
- Suitable for porches, barns, eaves, and other semi-protected outdoor areas.
- The unit is weather-resistant for light rain but should be covered to avoid full exposure or submersion.

Determining the Number of Devices:
- For a Minor Problem: One unit may be sufficient. Place it near the problem area, facing the most open part of the room. If using an extension cord, direct the speaker toward the bats.
- For a Severe Infestation: Multiple units are recommended. Position them in various locations around your house, within barns, attics, or even outside using an extension cord, facing the bats' entry points. Placing one unit at their entry point and another where they roost increases effectiveness.
For severe bat infestations, maximize effectiveness by running two units on different settings to overwhelm evasive bats.
