 Considered a keystone species
 Pest control
 One brown bat can eat up to 1,200
mosquitoes in a night
 Limits crop and garden damage
by controlling pests naturally
 Fertilization
 Bat guano (feces) is nutrient rich
and functions as an excellent
fertilizer for plants

 Scientific Research
 The saliva of Vampire bats have
provided insight regarding blood
clots in humans
 Lessons learned from bats’
echolocation have produced
navigational aids for the blind
 Virus Control
 Since bats eat large amounts of
mosquitoes, they help control
the spread of diseases such as
West Nile Virus which would be
much more plentiful without bats

Roughly 40% of U.S. bat species are either in
severe decline or have already been listed
as endangered. Causes Include:
 Habitat Loss and Degradation
 Forests and caves are often disturbed or converted
for urban and agricultural uses
 Agricultural Chemicals
 Bats may eat insects and drink water contaminated
with pesticides, or absorb chemicals when feeding
in recently-treated areas
 White Nose Syndrome
 Discovered around 2006, WNS is decimating bat populations across
eastern North America, with mortality rates reaching up to 100 percent
at many sites. It is estimated that roughly 5.5 million bats have died thus
far from WNS

Bat houses help with the following
problems:
 Habitat Loss and Degradation
 A bat house can help compensate
for forest and cave destruction
 Agricultural Chemicals
 Bat houses will help encourage a
greater bat presence reducing the
need for harmful pesticides that
negatively impact bats
 White Nose Syndrome
 Bat houses provide greater housing
options for bats which could help
reduce the spread of WNS

 Natural pest control
making the Summer
months more enjoyable
 Natural fertilization
for your garden, lawn
or farm
 Reduces the spread of
viruses caused by
insects keeping you
and your family safe
 Promotes biodiversity
and sustainability for
a healthier planet

 “Thank you for your quick turn around
in sending out our order, the bat houses
were more than we expected. Also thank
you for your quick response to my
question about bat house placement.”
--- Rod from Austin, TX
 “We recently (July 2011) purchased a bat
house from you and within 10 days we
had 2 to 3 bats living inside. Your
information about bat house placement
was very helpful in our decision to place
our bat house. We were originally going
to place it on a tree but after talking to
you we decided to take your advice and
place it on pole in our back yard in the
sun.” --- Mark from Deerfield, NH
