Summary: Ongoing Research
Review: This Guide is frequently revised utilizilizing information obtained by bat lover volunteers through Bat Conservation International, Inc. A NON PROFIT organization dedicated to preserving the dwindling populations of many bat species. The volunteers are everyday people who have taken the time and made the effort to build bat houses to supplement the threatened natural habitats of bats. They check the houses and report their findings to BatCon. Population, species, type of colony - nursing, bachelor, etc.
The success or failure of bat houses and bats natural characteristics are still not an exact science. Thus the ongoing research.
Bats are misunderstood. They provide countless benefits to man. They are interesting to observe.
My family has enjoyed countless hours building bat houses, placing them and tracking our success in attracting bats.
This book is a great starting place if you have an interest in wildlife conservation.

Summary: Going Batty? Here's Your Book.
Review: This is an excellent source of information on bats as well as their abodes. The book contains the results of years of research on size, color and placement of bathouses. Builders are even invited to participate in ongoing bat research through membership in Bat Conservation International (application card included). There is lots of information on the importance of bats in the environment; their almost insatiable appetite for harmful insects. There is also information on identifying the species of North American bats you may host, including B&W Pictures. There are detailed plans giving the size and spacing of roosting boards, openings and ventilation of your houses. He gives a source for the netting that you need to cover the roosts with, but I am using the mesh bags from onions as a substitute. I was able to find some dark colored ones that will be appropriate. My wife is looking forward to collecting guano (poopoo) from under the houses - bat guano is an excellent source of free fertilizer for your porch plants.
