So, I am thinking of installing a bat house to help with mosquitos [View all]

and they are facing extinction, and the bugs....did I mention the bugs?

I have less than a quarter acre in a suburb near the water. My house faces north, so the back yard faces South and they say Southeast or South is the best place for them

Has anyone ever done this before? I've already found out that the little one chamber boxes they sell at Home Depot is most likely inadequate.

I think I want to have this mounted on my chimney, but I am concerned about guano. So then I considered my shed, but I am not sure whether it is high enough off the ground for them.
