Description
Why build bat houses? Because bats are essential. They protect our crops, reduce use of pesticides that can cause cancer and dementia, and even help protect us from mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile. However, they are in alarming decline, often due to loss of natural roosts.
Armed with this handy guide from Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation (MTBC), you can have fun helping both bats and your neighborhood. We summarize decades of discoveries by more than a dozen leading experts to provide step-by-step instructions and diagrams for their favorite designs. Some of their conclusions will surprise you.
Whether you buy or build bat houses, your success will improve when using this guide. Follow our building advice or look for vendors who meet the high standards required to gain MTBC's Seal of Approval. And if you achieve exceptional success, or even unexplained failure, let us hear from you at MerlinTuttle.org.
Most of all, enjoy your bats and share your experiences with friends and neighbors!

Thank you to Greenleaf Book Club and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review. I've been trying to get bats to my home for the past year. This book was timely, and it had so many good ideas on not only how to make the house welcoming to bats, but also how to make various bat houses. I really enjoyed this book, and I think anyone interested in nature, or bats, would enjoy it as well.

This book is useful in setting up a successful bat environment. I had a bat house but no bats had nested in it. I learned from the book that temperature is important to the bats, so it has to be located in the right place for the bats to be in a comfortable temperature. The books also suggests that you have more than one house and put them on posts, so that the bats can move from one house to the other as the weather changes.

This book is so informative and the pictures are gorgeous. It has everything you'd need to know about building your first bat house or where to put your second. Very well written.
