Can I Use a Bat House to Keep Bats Away from My Home?
Sometimes the best solution to a serious problem is to cave. There is no doubt that many have a fighting spirit, and they can't imagine giving into some little critter. However, keeping animals like bats out of your home or business sometimes requires you to give in to a point. This is where the bat house may help you.

What Is a Bat House?
If you are unfamiliar with this term, it is a house that is specifically designed to act as a place where bats can live. Bats need a place to roost. These animals sleep upside down during the daytime, meaning they need some type of location where they can hang and sleep, then get out during the night to go hunt. To accommodate this desire, there are many out there who have put a bat house on their property, further away from their home or business. The bats go to live inside the house, staying away from the person's property. This sounds like a great solution. In theory, it is.

Does it Work?
This is a great idea. Some have had very good success in keeping bats away from their property using the bat house. However, there are some important things to consider if this is going to successfully work for you. First off, most species of bats live in large colonies. If a colony is numbering in the hundreds or thousands and you have a small bat house, that is not going to work. They are going to be looking for another home, which could become your attic. In addition, while the house may keep them from roosting inside your home, they are still going to be looking for food. These animals can fly as much as 50 miles in a single night, and they are constantly looking for insects to devour. If you have large insect populations around your home, you can be sure that bats are going to be coming around. They may not live there, but they are going to be looking for food and your property will offer it to them.

Overcoming the Challenges
If you are having a serious issue with these animals, then you may have to go the extra mile if you are putting in a bat house. You may want to leave rotting meat or cheese sitting out near the house a little bit before it starts to turn dark. This will start to attract insects. As sundown approaches, the bats will then have a ready supply of food right outside their bat house. This may not sound like a particularly appetizing option, and you may really hate the idea of feeding these critters. However, this may be your only means to effectively keep these animals away from your house. Consider that bats can be dangerous to you, your family, and your pets in a number of ways, and caving in this way may be the only way that you can protect them all. Just make sure that you are taking the right steps to keep them away from your house.
