Bats are extremely important. Yet due to years of unwarranted human fear and persecution, bats are in alarming decline. By putting up a bat house you are helping by giving them a home. You will also benefit from having fewer yard and garden pests, and will enjoy learning about bats and sharing your knowledge with friends and family.
As the primary predators of night-flying insects, bats play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. And, as consumers of vast numbers of pests, they rank among humanity’s most valuable allies. A single little brown bat can catch hundreds of mosquito-sized insects an hour, and a typical colony of big brown bats can protect local farmers from the costly attacks of 18 million root-worms each summer.
Bats are not blind, and are actually very clean animals. They do not get caught in peoples’ hair or chew through the attic of your house. Bats will not interfere with feeding backyard birds, and they will not be disrupted by pets or children.
Not all bat houses are built properly. Short and stout houses tend to have little chance of attracting bats, where longer, wider houses are working quite well.
This is a great price for a bat house! I searched everywhere and no one beat our price. Do a search yourself and see what you find. If you find a better price send us an email with the link to where you saw it and we will match or beat that price!
We only have two (2) of these and will probably not be able to get more until next summer. So if you want one order now before they are gone.
