Anyone have bat houses around their ponds?
Yes we do -- mounted high up on one of the out buildings below the dam. I highly recommend getting a good one from the bat society to build for your first one and following their recs for placement and maintenance. It's been a few years now in the right place and now we have a lively and entertaining colony of blying mosquito busters. Love them.
Interesting, I have had a bat house up for a couple years here at my house in Boone Co and have not had any luck, this is a home made one that a friend made, I dont know if its built right or not, it was one of the first ones he built, or if it is in the right place or elevation, Im about 18' up on a power pole that I set, facing south. there's a bat society?
