A Bat House for our Home — 6 Comments

  1. The old house I lived in had bats living in the walls…ugh!! It was awful and every so often they would get lose in the house!! Boy was that an adventure!! Id much prefer for them to stay outside!! Do love all the mosquitoes they eat though 😉

  2. Bats are very useful critters. The botanic gardens has several bat houses around the grounds.

  3. Interesting idea and informative post. I feel like animals have a use it’s just that I don’t want some in or near my home, but they can be very important to the ecosystem and living. Good for you, but I admit I wouldn’t want to do it. I say go for it if that interests you.

  4. How interesting. My parents had issues with a bat population in their chimney before. I’m sure the bats will move into the bat house really quick!

  5. My sister bought an old Grange Hall to turn into a house. It had over 6000 aware feet upstairs was on open whole room. But they had Hundreds of bats and thousands of bees. We had to seal the holes up at night when the bats went out. There were several old barns in the area where they could go to
    The bees were taken out by a bee wrangler. But when the bees left wasps came in they needed the exterminator. They started the renovation someone else finished it into a three car garage with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Great house but saved the bats and bees.

  6. So cool, and such a great (and unique) post! If I remember correctly (my memory is awf… what was I saying again? :p ), I learned a bit about bats / bat caves in the BBC… Oh, let me grab it from the shelf up there. …The BBC’s “Planet Earth” DVD box set, narrated by David Attenborough. (VERY highly recommended!) So fascinating!
    Side note: I didn’t know that you were in the process of renovating! Good on you. Also, it gives me some kind of comfort to know that I’m not the only one who lives in a 100-year-old house! :p
