So, what exactly is a Bat House? Bat houses are structures used to attract and safely house bats. Also referred to as bat boxes, these structures allow bats to have a safe place to reside and raise their young while acting as natural pest control. Providing bats with a safe place to roost has more benefits than you may think.
Benefits of a Bat House
A homeowner may choose to install a bat house for several reasons. Among the most popular are:
- Mosquito and insect control: Bats consume many different types of insects including rootworm larvae, ants, moths, leafhoppers, beetles and flies. Of course, they also consume mosquitos, which is one of the main reasons one might choose to install a bat house. Mosquito control during the summer in the south is almost essential. A properly placed bat house can help, as they can consume up to 600 mosquitos in one hour.
- Ecological benefits: Preserving the lives of bats is an ecological and ethical decision. More than 15 bat species are currently listed as federally endangered, threatened or under review in the candidate or petition process under the Endangered Species Act. At Go Pro Wildlife Removal, we believe that preserving native wildlife and bat houses is one way to accomplish this goal.
- Pollination: It is a little-known fact that bats pollinate plants. Although they do most of their work in the evening, having bats around allows plants to make seeds and reproduce. Among the 500 plants they pollinate are honeysuckle, bananas and cacao.
Proper Placement of a Bat House
Proper placement of bat houses is vital to their success. Go Pro Wildlife does not sell bat houses, but they do install them.
Some ideal locations for bat houses are near natural sources of water and away from tree lines. Bats do not typically congregate where many tree branches are present. Bats require hot temperatures to survive, so making sure your bat house is placed where it gets the optimal amount of sun each day is essential. Bat houses should be between 12 and 20 feet off the ground and should not be attached to a residence.
