Bats are greatly beneficial to human comfort in that they reduce mosquito populations.
Bats are far more effective than bug zappers because they eat up to 500 mosquitoes per hour when they are flying in the evening. Your bug zapper does not attract mosquitoes, but does attract beneficial moths and other beneficial and harmless insects. In fact, bug zappers reduce the population of insects that bats and other animals eat, thereby reducing the available food for these animals. Bats can live in colonies where there is a food supply to support them. Many can live in one box.
