The BatLure is a digital acoustic lure, built to playback sounds of up to 100 KHz. Both time expansion and real time sound recordings can be used. Time expansion recordings are automatically recognized and played back in real time.

  • The luring of bats using recordings of social- and echolocation bat calls in order to catch them for research purposes
  • To draw the attention of bats to a new potential roost to hasten its colonization. For example: bat boxes, newly constructed hibernacula as well as new summer- and maternity-roosts
  • The playback of bat calls during training and bat-detector courses
  • The testing of bat detectors and sound recording devices
  • The localization of mating roosts through playback of male song/vocalizations and observation of responding territorial males

  • 1 Carrying case with sufficient room for accessories
  • 1 External power cable for a 12V power input

BatLure Spinner
As an accessory for the BatLure we have developed the BatLure Spinner. Using the BatLure Spinner in combination with the BatLure increases your chances of successfully capturing bats as they move about their habitat. The BatLure Spinner consists of two ultrasonic loudspeakers with a mirror mounted between them. This mirror turns – spins – on an axis. Sound emanating from the speakers is reflected off the rotating mirror, causing it to scatter. Scattering the sound results in greater variation in the signal. This creates the illusion that the source of the sound is moving, which has been shown by empirical research to result in a higher rate of capture. The BatLure Spinner is an accessory intended for use with the BatLure, available from Apodemus. Please note that you must be in possession of a BatLure in order to use the BatLure Spinner. Please note: In order to use the BatLure Spinner, you must have a BatLure from the series "BL1715001" or later, which runs on firmware “TAG 20190227" or a more recent version.

What’s in the box 1 Handy 20W solar panel 1 12V battery 1 Built-in timer The built-in timer allows you to play bat calls at exactly the right time.

BatLure Powerkit
The adapter makes it possible to connect the BatLure to the electricity network (110/ 220 volts). The constant power supply enables the BatLure to transmit for extended periods. In situations in which the BatLure is used to support the mitigation to new accommodation, this is a valuable addition. Consider, for example, mitigating measures where bats need to migrate from a building that’s about to be demolished. Even when the BatLure is being used to give indoor bat detector training, it’s useful when it can be connected to the electricity network.

The timer is housed in a waterproof housing that can be opened without tools. The timer box is fitted with a screw to secure the housing against unauthorized opening.
