For the past few years we have been attacked by thousands of mosquitos any time my family went into the back yard. Last spring ( 2001 ) I installed a bat house on the back of my shop. The book that came with it said that it usually took 2 or 3 years for bats to come to a new house. On the 4th of July we had about 35 people come over and not a single person was bothered by mosquitos. At that time I didn't think much about it but late this afternoon I saw about a dozen bats flying around the yard. I didn't actually see any go to the house but I am hoping.
Anybody else installing bat houses? The little fella are supposed to eat more mosquitos than martins ever thought about, plus they do their work at night. Anybody know how to attract them? How to keep them happy?
