Default batbox

I got the design from the Internet. Lots of them out there...some very simple and some..not.
This box needs little adjusting to make it into a bat house. I heard them talking on Mooney radio show today about bats in the attic and all agreed they are no harm. They will be leaving for their hibernation soon. I will be putting up the bat house for them to come back to next summer.

My only problem with them was that a few managed to get into the house through cracks and openings in unplastered ceilings and some were attacked by my yorkshire terriers and killed. Two got into the house and could not get out or back to attic and died while I was not here. Some others I managed to return to the wild (located just outside the front door) But it was not a task I relish doing again. *they squeal like pigs when you nudge them into a bucket. Then you have to run like an Olympian to get outside. Aaaggghhh!
