Welcome to In The Bat House

Did you know that bats will work for you, for FREE, every night? All they ask in return is a cozy, safe, bat house to sleep in during the day. By properly installing a Bat Conservation International Cerified Bat House you are creating a safe bat habitat for your local bats. In return local fruit bats will work as cross pollinators for your fruit trees and other bats such as the common brown bat, will work as natural bug repellents using echolocation to locate and eat their body weight in flying insects every night.  Even their bat guano is useful; fruit bat guano contains seeds and thus propagates the re-growth of local plant life. The guano of insect eating bats is a powerful natural fertilizer that can be collected and used in your flower and vegetable gardens.  It’s WIN, WIN!!

But wait there’s more!!

By giving bats a home of their own you will be helping to keep bats out of yours. Bats prefer properly installed and built bat houses to your house. Bats have actually been known to abandon urban residences in favour of a newly erected bat house.
