Building Bat Houses: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-178

Bat lovers can take their love of these furry, flying mammals to the next level by providing them a space to live in a yard—and away from an attic! This 32 page zine details with clear instructions how to build an ideal bat-house, with plans detailing three different kinds of houses/bat abodes—one design for a space that hold up to 50 bats, another up to 150, and a large colony house that can hold up to 300 bats! The zine contains all that you’ll need to know to get that sucker built as well as choosing an optimal location, the best time to set it up, how to customize the design and choosing materials, and ultimately making a long-lasting and helpful structure. Bats are amazing and misunderstood little beasts that help the world survive—eating pests and even pollinating—help ‘em out!
