Does anyone have one? Wife and I have been reading up on them, and looking over the tips on our states conservation page. Just curious if people have any and if they notice any help with mosquito control?

We have them in the attic. Sometimes they get in the house. I don't know if they keep the mosquitoes down, But I would rather have the bugs than a wife going bat crap crazy any time she sees one.

That's what SHE said. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!!!!

Bats can eat thousands of mosquitos in an evening. I get one in my garage every once in awhile and watch them fly around in the evening twilight. I think they help and I've read that they do also. It would be a good thing to build. Simple box design.

Wisconsin's Yellowstone Lake State Park (NOT Yellowstone National Park) has many bat houses. It is the one state park that you can go to and never need bug spray.

I know heat is an issue and they need to have a certain % of sunlight so they don't get to hot or cold during the summer. But then I was also wondering how much bat **** ends up down your siding if its way up in your eves. Since my house backs to woods I was thinking of putting one up in a tree a ways not sure if it will work though.

Well its good to hear they at least DO keep the mosquito population down. Thats the only reason I want them, well and to have a tons of bats swarming from my property to scare the neighbors.
