Bat House In A Roof

The information found on their website is helpful to those who live in Florida and would want to make a bat house.

A pole mounted bat box is also a good design for those who live in this state and would like to contribute to providing a home for bats. For those who want to properly construct bat houses that will be placed in a pole, instructions can be found in their website and PDF guide.
