During the summer months, most bats build their nests in trees, while some nest beneath bridges or in buildings. Bat houses are different from birdhouses because they have a smaller entrance hatch, which is often located underneath the bat house. Hanging bat houses in your yard may be a great way to help bats and keep mosquitoes and other insects at bay. Some bats can consume 600 mosquitoes per hour. | During the summer months, most bats build their nests in trees, while some nest beneath bridges or in buildings.
