Bat Houses!

A great way to support bat populations is to provide supplemental housing for them, especially in areas where their natural habitat is being destroyed.  Bat houses are relatively simple to make and can be placed in your backyard to encourage them to roost there instead of in your gutters, attic, or chimney.  Bats are a great asset to have in your backyard because they work as natural pest removers!  Bats like tight and warm spaces and they like it to be 80 to 100 degrees in July when they have their young with them. The bat houses should be placed in the sun and around 12 to 15 feet off the ground to prevent predators from getting them.
