    I like the PVC bat house. I could make a bunch of those pretty cheap and start attaching them to random trees on my property.

    We had a microbat living in our garage behind an old picture frame hanging on the wall. We just left the side door open for him to come and go.

    I cannot wait! I hope I can get some microbats into my garden, I can probably only do the PVC pipe option so please let us know how it goes!

    Hey Millie, I can't remember in any episode how your bat bnb got on. I really hope they went gang busters. Thanks for all the hard work you and the whole team put into bring us all a glimmer of knowledge to enable us to grow beauty and nourishment. That goes for everyone upfront and behind the cameras. For me it gives me something to focus on until I'm able to do it myself. Thanks to everyone, and Tino,keep telling those bad jokes mate. 😊

    I allways understood NOT to check bat houses. Once scared or disturbed, they will not return.
    How are they holding up?

    Does this actually work? Or is it limited by location?

    I’m curious why you wouldn’t want to use treated lumber but using pvc is okay? I would think the chemicals in pvc would be just as bad if not worse than treated lumber?

      Megabats eat mostly fruit. But she's talking about microbats, which are smaller and eat insects. The boxes she built are too small for fruit eating bats and ideal for insect eating bats.
      Who doesn't want fewer mosquitoes?

      @@oiavh They still eat fruit.... They consume both foods in their diet.... Fruits, insects, small nuts. They are not radically different from regular bats. Just smaller in size but relatively the same overall.

      @@Leo_S94 thank you. I was not aware of that. I have been reading and most microbats are insectivorous but a some few species of microbats in the tropics eat nectar and even fruit.
      In Europe, where I live, all bats eat insects, so I love them
