Amish Handcrafted LARGE 40 COLONY BAT HOUSE WEATHERPROOF RECYCLED POLY Bring the wonderful benefits of bats to your backyard with our beautiful Bat House. Help rid your backyard of pesky mosquitoes and bugs naturally! Some insectivorous bats can catch up to 600+ mosquitoes an hour and housing up to 40 bat colonies, this is certain to help. Mount on the sunny side of a structure (tree/building) where it gets six to eight hours of sunlight a day. Place the house about 12-20 feet off the ground as bats need room to swoop in and drop out of the house. Manufactured at an old order Amish homestead, this bat house is meticulously handcrafted from high density poly plastic to stand the test of time and use. Poly lumber is made of recycled high-density polyethylene materials. It resists splintering and rotting. No need for chemical weatherproofing treatments.
