Your bat house will need to be about 15 to 20 feet in the air. Perhaps you could mount it in a tree. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/gardening/a20706363/how-to-attract-bats/
Thank you, all of you! Some great ideas! Betsy, I have mint in my yard near our sitting area, chocolate, spearment, and sweet mint, unfortunately we also have a small wetland area twords the rear of the property and we get innondated each year. Hoping the bat box works for ours and our dogs sake. Thank you though, i was unaware of mints capabilities and will be adding it everywhere!
Just use wood and leave the wood natural
