What are the benefits of having a bat house?
Despite the somewhat frightening perception many people have of bats, a bat house provides many valuable advantages to any homeowner.
- Insect control: Bats can eat 1000 mosquitoes an hour and 3000 in a single night, providing a natural control to your yards biggest pest. In many regions of the United States, bats provide the only legitimate predator to mosquitoes.
- Provide an alternative to your attic: Bats might be great to help control mosquitoes, but that still does not mean people would like them in their house. Anyone who has had to try and catch a wayward bat that has found its way into their home knows that having to choose between the sheet or the tennis racket is a decision no homeowner wants to make. Our bat houses are designed by experts to be the perfect home for bats, drawing them away from your attic.
- Beautiful fliers: Beauty might not be an adjective one thinks of when it comes to bats, but sitting out on your mosquito free deck at dusk and staring up at the sky watching them feed you will see how stunning of creatures they really are.
