We can only hope that some free guano falls as they pass over.
Actually, I've been thinking about a bathouse. Just haven't figured out where to place it.
I've been told that bat houses need to be placed on the North side of a tree or post. You probably want to check this as that wouldn't be the sunniest side.
They told me that bats need a water source within a certain distance or they won't colonize. I don't remember the distance. And he said they drink "on the wing," so they need to be able to swoop down on that water source.

Thanks for the link. I worked with a woman who was involved with the bat people in Philly.
Not sure what you're asking. In NC, the only thing LEGAL to do is EXCLUDE the bats. I use a 1-way valve in the area where the bats are, bat-proof the rest of the building (house, commercial bldg, church, etc) and come back in a few days to remove the valve and bat-proof that area. I give a lifetime warranty (mine!). I love bats!

Sorry, I didn't know. In NJ, they will remove & relocate them. At least that's what they did the last time I checked. I was hoping for more bats.
