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?

Get in touch with the Organization for Bat Conservation. (I've seen their
presentations and bat houses in the flesh.) A lot of bat houses (or bat house
designs) being sold or circulated are not really ideal for bats.
