bat house
Flying mammal dwelling
A bat house is a wooden structure designed to provide roosting habitat for bats, similar to a birdhouse but with narrow horizontal chambers instead of enclosed cavities.
Mounted on poles or buildings, bat houses attract bats that consume insects and pollinate plants: We installed a bat house to help control mosquitoes.
