Good evening to you. Bats are very useful up north. Our cabin is basically surrounded by a forest. With all the trees and the neighbors pond it's a mosquito breeding ground. Bats can eat as many as 8,000 mosquitos per night. That's a lot of mosquitos!
Here is a fun fact I didn't know until now. When they eat a mosquito or other small bug they catch it in their cupped tail membranes and transfer it to their mouth during flight.
I have seen a few bats hanging from the porch eave and of course flying around at night so I thought I could attract them with a bat house. I have had the bat house up for more than 3 years and haven't had a single bat live there. Maybe next year I will get lucky.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good night.

No bats yet. 😩
I didn't know that bats were so useful. Living and learning.
