Last I heard, no one can find a rhyme or reason why bats pick a particular
location to set up a colony, except a lack of predators. Good luck.

seems we have an over abundance of mosquitoes this year....and there is no
standing water anywhere that i can find. we have a large hedge that
surrounds
the back yard and come dusk, we stay clear of those !!!!!!
i was thinking of making a bat house....but this is fairly large.. 18" x
24".
i do know that much about bats, but if mount this on the side of my garage
(approximate height is 8' under the fascia boards) will the bats find and
use
this, or is it too close to the ground.
we have seen a couple of bats around here but will they find the house or
how
do i attract them to their new house?
