It appears that the bat house in this video is too close to the ground. The box should mounted higher up so the bats can glide out without impacting the ground.

Obviously didn't watch the video she's in the second level and the bat house is like 15-20ft up her property.

@@scives20041 Bats don't measure height from the ground, they measure it from whatever surface is under their nest, in this case the first floor roof. This box looks to be 5-6 feet high which will reduce the chance of the bats using it as they prefer 12 feet or more.

Bats drop 3-4 feet out of the house as they exit it and then fly off. In their mind they would worry about a predator sitting exactly where she is standing making a meal out of them.

I hope you are still active here but how do you clean up the guano? We put one on the side of the house and everyone is telling us about the guano and how it'll stain

Just found your video, I'm interested in mounting a bat house and was wondering if you have a follow up? I did not notice any other video reference your bat house on your page. I apologize if I just didn't notice it!

And where does the bat shit fall ? It falls right underneath the bat house ! I know because bats would roost between our patio and the garage in a narrow gap with concrete block walls to cling to in the narrow gap. And the bat pellets fell on to the patio floor below.

Great video. I would like to attract bats to my property. Just saw one suprisingly yesterday evening. It has been cold 36-41 degree lows at night. Being an animal lover I want all the bats I can get to visit my property. So I need to find a retailer of the multi-chamber variety of houses. However, I have a single level home and have some concern about climbing trees. lol Thanks for the video though.

I plan on building a large bat house that will be solar powered heater for winter. I want a lot of bats around our home. But I caught you saying that it was false that they don't carry rabies and that is false. They can carry rabies but not very often. Bats will and or would help everyone.

Hi Richard: Thank you for the clarification and for watching. Yes bats are so helpful for those pesky bugs that the potential pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. Cheers Senga

They need to hibernate in winter Richard, because there's no food for them. If you solar power their little house they'll starve because they won't hibernate.

Also Richard, some bats do carry rabies. There is not a great percentage, but some do

Bats hibernate through the winter and live off fat reserves that they have built up because there is no food/insects for them to eat. Hibernation is very critical for their survival. They will die if they don't hibernate. Don't worry the bats will return to the same living space they use during the warm months. So if they have made your bat house their home they will return. Don't know how they know but they do. My neighbors attic is proof of this.

Do bats only come out at night, or do they come out during the daytime too?

They come out at dusk, that time just before the sun goes completely down and it's completely night.
