I felt that I should contribute to this discussion but initially found that I had no words to describe my utter dismay at this product.
However now having recovered from my initial loss of words I have a thought to consider. Presumably this is a legal product but I think that an equivalent item to prevent bats entering a roofspace would be illegal. It would be good to get some input from anyone who is knowledgeable about wildlife legislation.
Hiya Dave, Like you, I at first thought this was an American product but it isn't. It is a UK product .. invented in N.Ireland and all the testimonials are UK.

I was very shocked and saddened to read this. I'd happy, as all of us would on this forum, have House Martins, Swallows and Swifts nest around my house. In fact I would be privileged to do so. Plus any species in the garden. Makes you wonder who provides financial backing for people like this and the total lack of knowledge of the conservation status in financial decision making.
Shocking, but not really surprising - a clear example of the lack of any kind of decency or morality in a society where commercialism is rampant. There are shades here of Vance Packard's foresight in his 1950s "The Hidden Persuaders" - the Wikipedia reference includes "subliminal tactics used by advertisers to manipulate expectations and induce desire for products" or, in more simple-speak, ways and means of conning the gullible. Hopefully, only the extremely ignorant or completely dim-witted will fall for this kind of advertising: many American nature-lovers I've come across will probably regard it with embarrassment and treat it with the scorn which it deserves.
