Comments about Teak Bat House:
The house is nice looking but without netting securely attached to the inside (lining all walls and ceiling) it is doubtful to attract bats. Bats need a secure foothold and roughened wood is not always adequate. Even if they move in, if they aren't comfortable in moving around inside the house without slipping, they won't stay.

Comments about Teak Bat House:
I bought a bat house for myself and one as a housewarming gift. The recipient didn't know what it was at first, but now is as excited as I am and anxious for spring when the bat houses can be hung on our respective homes. We expect the new occupants to help with control of flying insects, such as mosquitos. I doubt that we will be disappointed because we have seen bats in our areas, but with no specific place to call home. It is much more fun to sit on the porch at dusk and watch bats flitting and diving through the air for their food, than slapping at biting and sucking insect pests who want to eat you alive!
This is a quality product made out of renewable teak that will outlast many less durable, smaller and less attractive bat houses available. I also expect the bats to help in reducing the use of pesticides. Both of these qualities make this product a real bargain.
