Bats have lost a lot of natural habitats, but there are simple ways to help your local population thrive.
You can also build and install an artificial bat habitat, known as a bat box or bat house — though experts disagree about when and how often this solution makes sense.
O’Keefe is less encouraging. “Rather than offering bats artificial structures, I want landowners to consider ways to promote the development of suitable natural roosts on their property." She does make one exception: If you need toor another indoor space, a bat box can offer an ideal, alternate source of shelter.
If bats move in, be prepared to maintain the box for the long haul. “You and the bats could be in a committed relationship, possibly for many years,” says O’Keefe. Some species, such as the little brown bat, can live for 30 years. And don’t count on only a few taking up residence — bat colonies can range from 100 to 200 bats, which means you may need multiple shelters.
