Bat Box Building Plans

July 12, 2010 Bird House Feeder

If you have too many mosquitos and unwelcome insects around, put out an invitation to bats. Building a bat box is fun and easy, and the reward is fewer pests. You’ll need rough sawn cedar, or scraps of white pine, and a few nails. Carefully measure the pieces, following the instructions. Then get an adult to cut the pieces out for you. It’s similar to building a bird house, but instead of cutting an entrance hole, we’ll leave the bottom open. The interior dividers are really close together…but that’s the way bats like it. Mount the box high off the ground in a warm sunny location. The bats will find the box, and your bugs! mdc4.mdc.mo.gov
