Though bats may be a nuisance when they flock to your property, they’re mostly harmless to humans. They also provide natural pest control by eating mosquitos, fleas, and other pesky critters. And with a handcrafted bat house, you can keep these misunderstood mammals out of your home while providing them with easy access to your garden. Here’s why animal control experts often recommend these structures. 

How Bat Houses Benefit Homeowners

1. Pollinate Plants

When it comes to pollination, bats are almost as important as bees. After nightfall, they’ll distribute pollen as they feast upon insects and nectar, helping your plants and flowers grow lush and verdant while also doing a service for the environment. 

2. Collect Fertilizer 

Bat feces, also known as guano, make excellent fertilizer for your lawn and garden. It contains nutrients, bacteria, and fungi that assist with soil health and promote the growth of plants and flowers, and bat houses provide a convenient place for you to collect it. 

3. Spread Seeds

Handcrafted houses attract bats to your garden at night for foraging. After eating fruits and flowers, they’ll leave droppings that contain seeds that facilitate the growth of new plants in open and uncultivated areas of your yard. 

4. Protect the Species 

Handcrafted houses also provide a natural form of animal control that protects bats. As their ecosystems become more endangered, bat houses will give these mammals a safe place to make their homes and repopulate their species.
