WILDLIFE HOUSES

Bat House -
Fully assembled and ready to mount on a pole, tree, or the side of a building.  Painted black to keep bats warm.  Approx. 13" X 24" X 3".

 

Don’t let mosquitoes ruin a lovely summer evening outside.  Install a Bat House on your property to decrease your bug population.  These shy, gentle mammals eat 3,000 insects a night!  Bats also pollinate flowers, disperse seeds, and eat insects that devastate our crops.  White Nose Syndrome, a fungus that is believed to disturb bats during hibernation, may be the cause of severe bat mortality in the Northeastern U.S. 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.  Keep bats out of your home by providing them a house of their very own where they can safely roost.  Enjoy your new bat neighbors, and say goodbye to annoying insects.
