Bat Box Project
Bat Box Project
Do you want to encourage bats to your property?
Specially designed boxes provide a stable housing option to encourage and support both seasonal and resident insectivorous bat populations, promoting a healthier environment and providing an ideal site to observe them doing what they do best…
Bats are the primary predators of night-flying insects, making them nature’s great biological control agents for insects. One small bat is able to consume over 1000 mosquitoes in an hour. In agricultural areas, bats can contribute significantly in bringing agricultural insect pest populations under control.
Sadly, many bat species globally are facing drastic declines in their populations. Human fear, persecution, chemical pesticide use, and the destruction of roost sites has contributed significantly to the decline in bat populations.
The Bat Box Project initiative aims to support resident bat populations by providing an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticide use, reducing the need for chemical control and naturally enhancing the balance in your garden, farm, orchard and your neighborhood, to benefit both the bats and the community.
The project will include diligent data collection for research on the biology and effectiveness of bats as biological control agents, and funds generated from the project will go directly to support the rescue and rehabilitation of bats at the FREEME Wildlife centre.
