Poison your neighbour's fruit tree.

Honestly, that's really the only way to get rid of them. They're there for the fruit. As long as fruit is available, they'll turn up, eat, and shit out that horrible stuff on your car.

We had it for a long while and the only reason they stopped coming was because the Magpies and the Cockatiels ate all the neighbour's fruit before the bats got to it.

i have contemplated that, yet its a beautiful tree. Deciduous and has a lovely flower once a year. Its a big peach tree. Thing that annoys me is he dont even harvest the fruit, so whats the point and its up side of house.

Go big or go home
Had a friend with a stonefruit orchard back in the 80s he had a cannon he fired every night at dusk to get the bats away from his fruit bloody awful things in my opinion i had a few eating my figs i netted them (accidently) they usually hang themselves after that . You can chase them until you go to bed and they come straight back

Hire Ozzy Osbourne to sit in the neighbours fruit tree. He may not bite them all, but hopefully after one or two they get the message.
