So...I live in a small town (or kibbutz) here in Israel and a large group of bats joined us a while ago.

A few days ago they started squeaking loudly from sunset to sunrise with no end in sight.
Unfortunately I don't have a spare M16 or even a BB gun around, any other suggestions?

Try to figure out where they sleep during the day, and scare them away?

Fate has called upon you this day. Time to design a rocket car, sew yourself a suit with anatomically correct nipples, and convince an old English gentleman to be your butler.

Perhaps the teenager repellent, the Mosquito, may be of some use? A high pitched sound might make them want to leave.

actually an utlrasound source placed near their sleeping area would probably help a lot.
brilliant. and it wouldn't bother anyone else, except maybe drive a few dogs to madness.

Call the guy with the rooster problem and maybe he'll give you a cock to fight the bats? Even if it didn't work long term it would be pretty cool to watch.

The bats wouldn't be there if there wasn't an abundant food source. Do you know what that type of bat eats? If they are insect eating bats, be grateful that they're there. Drive away the bats and the number of insects will skyrocket.
