Product Description
Did you know - Each Brown Bat can consume 600 mosquitoes in an hour? WHY HOUSE BATS: Bats feed on night-flying species of insects such as mosquitoes, corn borers and cutworm moths. While actual number of insects caught varies according to the size of the insects, laboratory studies have shown that a single little brown bat can consume 600 or more mosquitoes in an hour. Bats DO NOT interfere with attracting wild birds. PLACEMENT OF YOUR BAT HOUSE: Most North American bats prefer to live within a few hundred yards of water, especially streams, marshes and lakes. Bats also need an area with an abundance of insects for their food source. The best time to mount your Bat House is in the fall or winter. This allows the wood to age and odors dissipate. Mount your Bat House on a pole or under the eaves of a house, garage or barn approximately 12-15 feet above the ground facing the South, preferably in an area that receives sunlight during most of the day. MAINTENANCE FREE! Bat houses require no maintenance and should be left in place year round. Do not become discouraged if bats do not immediately occupy your house. It can take up to a year for a bat house to attract a colony.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy over Build, May 8, 2010

Customer Video Review Length:: 2:12 Mins

I was considering building my own bat house but after pricing materials and factoring in time... I decided to buy two of them. While I still haven't ruled out building a large size one. I wanted to see if this would draw some bats.

Oh for those that can't figure out why I am trying to draw bats around out house, it is to deal with bugs and mosquitoes. I grew up on a lake and I don't remember being plagued like I am were we live now, one big difference we had a lot of bats at the lake.

I am looking for multiple ways to control mosquitoes around our home. If I can get the bats to move in, I'll let them do the work. While it is a green alternative, that is not my main motivation. I hate putting chemicals around myself and family, don't care to burn propane for the co2 generators (cost) and like to be outside without the bugs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, but very poor construction, July 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heath Outdoor Products Deluxe Bat House (Lawn & Patio)
This is a very attractive bat house, but I was totally disappointed with it on arrival. The roof was stapled on to the body of the house..with large gaping seams. The roof was split in half, and there is no mesh inside for the bats to cling on to. I will be sending this back. I have since purchased the Looker OBC triple chamber bat house, and am extremely satisfied with this one. It is constructed with heavy wood, the roof is screwed on tightly with no open seems. It is lined with mesh in 3 chambers so the bats have something to cling to. I am very satisfied with the OBC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Nice Bat House, May 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heath Outdoor Products Deluxe Bat House (Lawn & Patio)
I got this for my son's birthday. (This is all my 5 year old wanted.) After doing some comparing, I found this one to be the best. He loves it. We put it under the eve of our garage where he can watch the bats come out at dusk. Although the directions say that it can take up to a year for bats to roost in it, we already have a few in there. Looks really nice too.
