A friend of mine has about 10 poles with gourds for martins to take care of the mosquitos around the yard. Well once at night they go to bed and the mosquitos are out in force. So I suggested making bat boxes and we have looked up plans and we love woodworking projects. My question is, how do the bats find them? Will they stay? Is there anything to help them to find them?
One website we found told what types of bats would most likley to inhabit the boxes and desriptions of them suggested none of the speices inhabit caves.
Just curious on any bat box experinces you have had.
