Sunshine's Bat House - Small
A recommendation by ASewell
ASewell's recommendation

The is an extremely eco-friendly form of controlling mosquitoes. Bats are nature's secret weapon to control the insects that are annoying or dangerous to humans. This is especially true of one of their favorite meals - mosquitoes! It has been reported that one small bat can capture and consume more than 1,200 mosquitoes per evening!
As you likely are aware, mosquitoes have been known to carry a variety of diseases, the most fatal here in the US is the West Nile Virus. The good news is that even if WNV (West Nile Virus) has been reported in your area, and your resident bats consume them, a bat cannot contract the West Nile Virus by eating infected mosquitoes.
A variety of insects can hear a bat up to 100 feet away and will avoid all areas occupied by bats. The effectiveness of bats in some areas reduces or diminishes the need for pesticides. Pesticides that harm the pests, their natural predators, and any pet or human who may consume or come into contact with vegetation that has been treated.
However, just putting one up doesn't mean that they will come. Make sure to do your research on how to properly attract bats to your new bat house. (via pristineplanet.com)
