Construction of a shelter, house, birdhouse in Chauves-Souris
published: 11/06/18, 23:41
Hotels with (good) insects are fashionable but another interesting hotel to place in its garden is shelter, birdhouse or hotel in Chauves-Souris.
Indeed in summer, when you are overwhelmed by insects (the unwanted ones!) No better than biological control! Why did not I think about it earlier?
A bat can eat thousands of insects a night, so a hotel in Chauves-Souris can be beneficial for an entire neighborhood, see a small village!
I begin to learn. Then I will quickly move on to the realization. As I have room in the garden, I think to do several types to see the one that works best compared to my biotype. I have a pond at 200m and a forest at 300m from the garden, so the conditions are good for attracting bats. Moreover, about ten years ago I saw one wounded in the cellar.
You can easily find dozens of plans on the internet. Here is a page that presents 37 types (so you have to choose the right one!)

Has anyone here ever done this? What results? Return? Advice?
