Helping Out

There are many ways to help bats. First of all, you can build a bat house in a safe place. Remember to search up what kind of bat you might have living near your home so you can figure the best size and shape for the house. To make a welcoming place for a bat, don't use pestasites and other things that might be harmful. Second, buy the book Bat Scientists. Some of the money goes out to help bats. Thirdly, if you see a bat in the house. Stay away from the phone, and don't THINK about calling an Exterminator. 2 reasons. 1) They are inleage with Daleks. and 2) they'll kill the bats. To get the bat out, open the doors and windows. The bat will find it's way out.

Bats are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems. Most bats eat huge amounts of insects, including farm pests and many of the nasty bugs that harass outdoor gatherings. You'll also enjoy learning more about bats as you watch them come and go from the home you provided.

And homes are often in short supply for bats. Their populations are declining around the world, often because of disappearing habitat.

Community bat houses are designed to house entire bat colonies numbering in the thousands.
