Item Description

Great fun.

Great fertilizer.

Supports local bats.

Never used authentic wooden house for bats, to hang in your garden.   

Bats are extremely important and are good neighbors to have around. Yet due to years of unwarranted human fear and persecution, bats are in alarming decline. You can help by providing bats with a nice bat house in your neighborhood and giving them a home. You will also benefit from having fewer yard and garden pests, and will enjoy learning about bats and sharing your knowledge with friends and family.

As the primary predators of night-flying insects, bats play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. And, as consumers of vast numbers of pests, they rank among humanity’s most valuable allies. A single little brown bat can catch hundreds of mosquito-sized insects an hour, and a typical colony of big brown bats can protect local farmers from the costly attacks of 18 million root-worms each summer.

Bats are not blind, and are actually very clean animals. They do not get caught in peoples’ hair or chew through the attic of your house. Bats will not interfere with feeding backyard birds, and they will not be disrupted by pets or children.
