bat houses
Flying mammal homes
Bat houses are wooden structures designed to provide roosting habitat for bats, typically mounted on poles or buildings.
They feature narrow interior chambers that mimic the crevices where bats naturally shelter.
Homeowners install them to attract bats for mosquito control and pollination: We put up bat houses to reduce the bugs in our yard.
