Consider
the community use of a bat house as part of your natural mosquito abatement
program. Many zoos, parks, and city managers have installed bat houses
in order to provide roosting habitat for their local bat species, as a
single bat is capable of eating 500 - 1000 mosquitoes per hour. Though
they may not always eat that many mosquitoes, they are known to be an
important part of keeping a natural check on exploding mosquito populations.
Bats are one of our most beneficial creatures alive. Yet, due to human
development and the use of pesticides, the numbers of bats are in serious
decline (with some species threatened by extinction).
