The problem More than half of the species of bats in the United States are endangered or in rapid decline. Although they have natural enemies such as foxes, snakes and possums, it's humans that pose the greatest threat. When people develop land that was once inhabited by bats, they destroy roosting sites. When bats seek alternative living areas, they sometimes pick small openings in buildings and get inside attics. Bats, like people, enjoy a warm dry house.
Attics can provide that type of environment.
Because of their unfounded reputation, when many people find bats in the attic the first reaction is to exterminate them. New home You can provide an alternate roost for bats by putting up a bat house. A bat house is a lot like a birdhouse that is specially designed to meet a bat's needs. The inside of the house contains a series of chambers that bats can hang from. There are several important things to remember when putting up a bat house.
