Small bat house kit
A great project for that cold rainy day! Build your own bat house, a great project with children. All you need is a hammer. Bats are the natural predator of mosquitoes, and will feast on them every night!
Invite bats to your backyard and help naturally rid your yard of mosquitoes, and enjoy a project with your children at the same time. The kit only requires a hammer to put together, and the project doesn't end once the house is built. Place the house about 20 feet up, facing the morning sun. It could be placed in a tree, post or on a shed or other building. Once the bats arrive, they can eat up to 600 mosquitoes per hour!

If you are looking for a unique birthday gift, or looking for a weekend project for you and your child or grandchild, this one is fantastic. First you assemble the house, a great project for you and a child, then hang it facing the morning sun, then monitor the house and see when you attract bats. If the house is placed in the morning sun, and about 20 feet off the ground, you have an 80% chance of attracting bats. The 80% success rate also includes people who hung these on buildings in the city...not a prime spot for bats...so if you are a country dweller, your chances are better than 80%. Next in your project, see if the bats help control your mosquito population. If you are placing the house in a tree in the summer, do not be discouraged if the bats do not find it the first year. The leaves on the tree will hide the house from the bats, so they may not find it until the following spring.
This pieces for this house are rough sawn cedar, to withstand the elements, and cut and packaged in the USA.
