tao40 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was wondering if anyone has tried putting up bat houses around their house/farm to help control mosquitoes, & flies? If so, how effective was it, were you able to notice a decline in the amount of mosquitoes? I was thinking of making some to help reduce the population around our farm, along with some other measures (mosquito traps, insecticidees/larvacides). Thanks!

worgeordie Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Would do no harm to try that,and not expensive, do you have any bats in your area, ? we had a colony in a big tree near our house at night they would come out and eat the insects flying around the street lights, So you may need to put some lights up too to attract the insects at night, or the bats might just fly away looking for better hunting grounds. good luck regards worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toosetinmyways Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Have you lived close to a bat colony and inhaled their droppings smell? I have a tree that the flowers attract bats. As soon as a flower appears the wife is out with the axe to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tao40 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Your the 1st person I ever heard talk about the issue of bat droppings! If the smell is that bad, I would definitely keep the bat houses away from house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
