Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

If mosquitoes are turning your backyard into a buzzing nightmare, consider recruiting an unexpected helper: bats. A single bat can devour as many as 1,000 mosquitoes in one night, making them one of nature’s most effective pest controllers. To attract them, install a bat house -- available at many home and garden stores -- in a warm, sunny location at least 15 feet above the ground. Skip mounting it on trees, where predators can easily reach; placing it on the side of your home or on a tall pole gives bats a safer place to settle in.
