Studies have proven that ultrasonic sound does not reverberate. This means that once the ultrasonic sound hits a surface, it disappears. Any animal that is living in any kind of crevice, such as a bat, they won't even hear the sound at all.

ADDED. That's not correct: you have misunderstood "the studies" and the basics of sound. Ultrasound will not normally give rise to reverberation because as its frequency rises its absorption losses through the air rise, on top of the attenuation by distance. Some surfaces will absorb sound, but generally ultrasound is easily reflected from any suitable surface, and the bat will hear a sound within its own hearing frequency-range. This is how bats navigate and hunt!

Ultrasonic bat repellers have limited effectiveness in repelling bats as bats are not as affected by ultrasonic frequencies as other pests. Physical barriers, exclusion methods, and proper habitat modification are more reliable ways to deter bats from a specific area.
