@batconservationandmanageme43432 ай бұрын
Bat detectors will pick out mice, squirrels, and other rodent critters. The SonoBatLIVE software filters those out on the fly, or you use other apps to remove non-bat noise from your collection.

interesting project. what concerns me is maybe cats or other predators climbing up the pole. what experience do you guys have with cats climbing up the pole?
@batconservationandmanageme43432 ай бұрын
Haven't heard of a cat, but as long as there not other perch nearby then wrapping the post with some metal flashing will do the trick.

I'd love to get one of these 4 chamber bat houses, but I would want to mount it on a pole. Would I have to bury the pole into the ground or are there any poles with a flat base, that can sit flush on the surface of the ground?
@batconservationandmanageme43434 ай бұрын
You need to cement it ~2.5' into the ground, or eventually it will fall over. Out colleague Terry came up with a design that is bolted to a pallet that might not fall over if on flat ground, and would be movable. Find him in this group: facebook.com/groups/687900871881857

Bats co-exist with paper wasps, if the nests take up too much room they can be scraped out when bats aren't present.

Bat houses in the lowland (Tucson-Phoenix) need to be -fully- shaded all day, attached to some kind of structure. Those are the only successful bat houses I know of in that area. The ColonyCabin in tan or even the DayLodge would be good to experiment with. batmanagement.com/products/colonycabin

Hi! Hope you're doing well. I just bougth a Pettersson M500 and I´m having problems while connecting it to my smartphone because the app says that it doesn't detect the microphone. I'm looking for a new smartphone or tablet to connect it and test it, Could you please recommend me a device that claims to be compatible with the Android version of the app and that detects the microphone? I´m currently working on a project in which I use this and another device for detecting bats in my region. If you could help me with this question, I would greatly appreciate it!.

The best software to capture bat calls is on PC; the smartphones are a bit of a gimmick used for public interpretation. If you want good recordings for analysis, record onto a PC tablet or "2 in 1" device from any of the leaders (Surface Pro, Dell, etc.) The device needs a real I5 or I7 processor and Windows 10 or higher to run good recording software like BatSoundTouch that is free with the M500 or SonoBatLIVE which is a separate program. batmanagement.com/collections/software
Do I need to worry about bat excretement if a bat house is mounted over a deck on the southside of a house?
@batconservationandmanageme43438 ай бұрын
Yes- if there's no other option you might want to put a large pot directly under the bat house to catch the majority of droppings. Also use the mount kit or your own 2x4 spacers to bring the box slightly away from the building, which will minimize urine dripping.

I want to thank you with all my heart for making this video 🙏 I suffer from severe chiroptophobia. It has destroyed my life. I don’t go outside anymore. At times, I’ve struggled to go to work or even to the store. I can’t do simple task like getting the mail or walking my children to school. I honestly love bats. I think they are incredible. I want so desperately to be able to leave my house again someday, to enjoy the outdoors, to hike, and camp again. I have been in treatment for 6 months this year. I was just driving home from treatment, wondering if this life is worth living, feeling the most desperate despair. I just want to go outside again! Then I found your video… I can’t tell you how desperately I needed to see this. You have given me hope! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This is very cool to see. I love these little night sky puppies. I do have a question about bat houses. Do they prefer building mounted houses, pole mounted houses or either is of equal success or one of each Trying to go for the most appealing options for bats. Like bat magnets if you know what I mean. Nothing bad. They will be big multi chamber house. Between four to seven chambers. We have mainly big brown bats around here in Kentucky. Any help, information or experience is highly appreciated and thank you.

That is awesome! I love bats. How many bats are living in there?? It seemed like a never ending flow of bats. How much would it cost for this complete setup as seen here?? We have big brown bats and some little brown bats around here. Not these kind of numbers but I would love to eventually have a colony this size in some of these houses. It would be awesomeness.

About 750 or so in north FL. When you get around 1000, they take so long to come out it's too dark to really see them. So, this and the Super Duplex are a great size for a large colony without breaking the bank, compared to other solutions. batmanagement.com/products/super-duplex-bat-house

There is no data that bats don't like a particular stain or paint. Data actually shows unfinished bat houses are less successful than finished ones, and obviously finished ones are going to last much, much longer baking in the sun.
