DID YOU KNOW?????????????????
DO YOU THINK YOU NEED A BAT BOX?????
"MAYBE YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING THE BATS IN THE WALLS, FINDING BAT POO ALL OVER THE YARD OR WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING BIT BY A RABID BAT. OR MAYBE YOU WANT THOSE THINGS! EITHER WAY, THERE IS A SOLUTION : BAT BOXES.
BAT BOXES, ALSO KNOWN AS BAT HOUSES OR BAT SHELTERS, ARE A SAFE, HUMANE WAY TO HOUSE BATS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A SUITABLE HOME. BATS ARE AT RISK EVERYWHERE.
THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS OF HABITAT, A BIG ELEMENT OF THAT IS URBANIZATION. MASSIVE TREES ARE TORN DOWN, WETLANDS ARE FILLED IN WHICH TAKES AWAY FEEDING AND ROOSTING AREAS. A BAT BOX CREATES AN ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM.
A SINGLE BAT CONSUMES 50 TO 100 % OF IT BODY WEIGHT IN SMALL INSECTS EACH DAY."
