Building for Bats

Record #:
20840
Abstract:
Bats are the only major predator of night-flying insects, and their menu of mosquitoes, gnats, and some crop pests is beneficial to humans. Over the years the bat populations have been declining, and one cause is the destruction of roosting areas. For readers living in areas where natural roosts are scarce, the authors provide information on buying bat houses or making your own.
