the next time she gets a mosquito bite, or squeals about a flying bug she sees, tell her that one little bat can eat up to 1200 mosquitoes in an hour- and they also eat all kinds of other bugs! A bat house in your yard will keep the whole area mosquito and bug free- try that!

its way more easy to glue some wooden skewers to the backboard than to try to roughen it up or attach plastic [that could potentially catch and choke a bat]. works just as well, even easyer for the bats to grab onto.

Cool site. I thought you might like to have add a link about bat house plans for even bigger houses since those tend to work better. My site just happens to provide suck plans. Here’s the info:

Good Luck,
