WILDLIFE HOUSES
Bat House - Fully assembled and
ready for mounting to a pole, tree, or
the side of a building. Approximate size
13"X24"X3" painted black. Why would you
want bats hanging around? One brown bat
is capable of consuming 1,000 mosquitoes
in an hour. These shy, gentle mammals
decrease the number of night-flying
insects that bite humans and infest
crops. Bats also pollinate flowers and
propagate vegetation. White Nose
Syndrome, a fungus that is believed to
disturb bats during hibernation, may be
the cause of severe bat mortality in the
Northeastern US. Bats become emaciated
as fat reserves are depleted, and some
caves have reached 97% mortality. Help
to revive our Adirondack bat population
and have a more enjoyable outdoor
experience knowing that your
neighborhood bats are making a dent in
insect pests.
