The world would look very different without bats — and not for the better.
There are more than 1,400 species of bats worldwide - each of which plays a substantial ecological role in the health of our ecosystem and even impact our overall economy!
Below are just a few reasons why bats are important:
With their natural habitats growing smaller due to human encroachment, bat populations are in danger. But we can help by giving them a home.
Installing a bat house on your property can provide a safe environment for bats, while protecting your yard from pest insects, like mosquitoes, moths, and beetles. Bat houses give females a safe, warm place to raise their young. Since most female bats only have one pup each year, bat populations grow very slowly.
