Attract beneficial, insect-eating bats with housing that will protect and shelter them. Neighborhood bats consume hundreds of mosquitoes and other bugs an hour while they feed at night, making them an all-natural, desirable method of pest control. This house gives your bats a warm place to roost, protected from wind and predators. Mount the house on a garage, barn or pole (south or east facing is usually best). Do not mount on a tree as it enables predators, is usually too shady
