It's hard to believe that mosquito season is nearly upon us. This year, I plan to combat the pesky varmints in a natural way: by attracting bats!
Everything you need to know is at the website for Bat Conservation International. I'll report on my progress when I get to building my first bat house, but here's what attracted me to the project:
- Bat Houses work best when built from recycled wood... well weathered old barn wood is best
- Bats are natural insect killers. This makes camping time more enjoyable with less reliance on bug spray and insecticide.
- Habitat for bats is under pressure by human activity. Building them a bat house helps them too!

we had bats at my parents cottage- they were fabulous.
another really great animal to attract are tree swallows. they love flies as well! their bird houses need small holes and no little pegs. one challenge- making it so that squirrels couldn't chew the openings to get in. :)
