🦇 Thank You, Lavern, for Your Order! 🦇
Check out this custom Western Red Cedar Bat House we recently built!
I’ll admit, before this project I had never heard much about bat houses—but after learning more about them, I think they’re a fantastic addition to any property.
Bat houses provide a safe, warm place for bats to roost and for female bats to raise their young. Since most female bats only have one pup each year, bat populations grow very slowly, making quality habitat incredibly important.
Not only do bats benefit from a safe home, but they also help naturally control nuisance insects like mosquitoes, moths, beetles, and other night-flying pests. A healthy bat colony can consume thousands of insects in a single night.
This bat house is handcrafted from Western Red Cedar, a naturally rot- and insect-resistant wood that’s perfect for outdoor use. The interior is lined with gutter guard mesh, giving the bats a secure, textured surface to cling to while roosting. The extended roof and landing area help provide additional weather protection and make it easier for bats to enter.
If you live out in the country, have a pond, or simply get tired of mosquitoes keeping you indoors on summer evenings, a bat house can be a great natural solution.
