Professional-grade Digital Acoustic Bat Lure

The Apodemus BatLure is a digital acoustic lure, designed to play back sounds of up to 100kHz for the purpose of attracting bats for field and research purposes. The durable aluminum housing allows for use in both field and classroom settings and will play back time expansion and real-time sound recordings directly from an SD card. Equipped with an auto-play feature, the BatLure will begin broadcasting bat calls immediately after it is connected to a power source, making it possible to operate on a timer. A 12V battery or 8 AA batteries may be used, and will allow for a full night of broadcasting ultrasound. 

  • Lure bats using pre-recorded echolocation bat calls
  • Draws attention of bats to new potential roost locations 
  • Play bat calls during bat survey training course and workshops
  • Instantly test bat detectors, software, and other ultrasound recording devices

Recent investigations have shown that certain bat species are attracted to the BatLure and may even increase potential capture rates. This is especially relevant in open areas where traditional mist-netting can be less productive due to lack of canopy cover and forest corridors. The BatLure also provides excellent means by which to test the functionality of your acoustic equipment both in the field and the office. This includes workshops and interpretive programs where a demonstration of real-time bat passes can be viewed and displayed using currently available bat call analysis software.The BatLure is compact, robust, and fitted with a tripod attachment mount. Sounds are played back from the supplied SD card, which allows users to create and load their own full spectrum ".wav" recordings. (The BatLure does not play zero-cross files).  

The Apodemus BatLure is ideal for:

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask BCM a Question

  • What’s the warranty on this ,& bat counter ? How long can if last ? If it quits working , will the company fix for reasonable price ?How many have been sold , or there out in use? Any other success stories?

    Hello - There is a 3 year warranty on defects serviced by the manufacturer. They also provide loaners during servicing. The manufacturer is: https://www.apodemus.eu/field-equipment While we have used both devices, I can't say we have had them on long term projects ro determine survivability. Both devices are weather resistant but are not intended to be completely watertight. To connect with other users there are a few Facebook groups such as bat lures and bat call sound analysis workshop that should have users with real-world experiance.

  • How much distance can this device cover and does it attract bats to you with the sound?

    Bats can likely hear sounds produced by any lure from hundreds of feet away. Note that your bat detector may not pick up the sound from the lure much more than 15' away; that's how much better bats are than our expensive microphones. Be assured that the lure is working properly and bats can hear the speaker much further than our microphones can. Of course all bats are different and some are only interested in the sounds in their immediate surroundings, so your milage will vary depending on species. Wether a certain individual bat actually investigates the speaker/lure depends on what is playing. We are assembling bat calls for this purpose and will make them available soon.

  • I'm interested in purchasing the BatLure system. Are any other items needed along with the purchase of the BatLure?

    Hello- The Apodemus BatLure will need batteries, or an external 12v battery. It does come with a sample of European bat calls. These are great for testing detectors or live demos for the public. Beyond that you'll need your own collection of full spectrum .wav files to play back for whatever you purpose may be. If the .wav files do not play, you may need to strip out the metadata using the SonoBat Data Wizard or another app that removes metadata.

  • We purchased a bat lure some years ago and have misplaced the manual. How do you access the battery?

    Remove the panel to the left of the power button. There is a SD card slot there, and a battery pack. A small string assists in unplugging the battery pack, a small amount of force is necessay, it will not just "drop out". If you can't grip it you might need pliers. Please see the latest manual partway down this page:

  • Can this attract bats from miles away?

    No- hundreds of feet in radious perhaps, certainly not miles. -JC
