Florida should encourage the building and tending of bat houses to a much greater degree. They are ...a superb natural way of controlling mosquitoes. We had them in our neighborhood years ago, but over time they've disappeared. One result is that we now have a far worse mosquito problem than ever before, so more spraying goes on. And now we are losing or perhaps have lost natural bee colonies. Is there a trend here? See More

I found bats roosting on my house during a roof repair project. SO I did some homework this summer a...nd built a bat house. Success, the bats moved right in and are still here today. I then built a second house and installed it on a different side of the house and more bats are now in that one! I live in Chapel Hill, NC very close to the main campus of UNC. My home is located in a forest with a small creek in the back and the bats seem quite happy to be here. I am quite happy as well, there are now way less mosquito's around thanks to my new tenants! Love them bats! See More
