–\u00a0Bats<\/strong> can be a useful anti-mosquito predator \u2013 but they require special \u2018bat houses(pic)<\/a>\u2018 to contain them in useful numbers. Attracting bats to a bat house requires a site with exposure to the East sun, and nearby water to be successful. Female bats produce only one offspring per year so increasing the population is a slow process. The best time to erect a bat house is in March.
