I ordered this bat house because it is not too big not too small. It also has spooky looking trees on the front which makes it cute in my opinion . We mounted it at the top of a wooden 4 x 4 I think. I’ve heard it can take a couple years for bats to move in but I am hoping they like the location! We NEED bats because mosquitoes LOVE our backyard. :)

This is a cute house and nice for the low cost. However, the biggest flaw I found after it arrived was that it doesn't open to be cleaned. A lot of the other houses I looked at specifically said that the tops opened for easy cleaning. This one didn't specify if it did or didn't and I assumed it would. Also, the hole that is drilled into the back is impossible to get to with a drill or hammer. So hanging it was another problem. I had to add brackets to each side and then drill into the house. The house is also much smaller than I expected, but I'm not really sure how close bats like to sleep so I'm not sure if that will be a problem or not. Still not a bad product for the very low price compared to the certified bat houses that are offered through "Bat Conservation International". I would say this is a very novice house and if you're really looking to add bats to your property, I would go with a better quality house from a certified dealer.
