Bat Houses to Last a Lifetime
Recycled plastics are where it’s at today! For so many reasons they’re the perfect choice for just about any product. Aside from keeping the milk jugs and containers out of landfills, the birding accessories manufactured are guaranteed to never crack, split, fade, or warp.
This is an awesome claim, and most companies even stand by the guarantee…because it’s true. Another benefit is the non-porous surface. It’s easy to clean and disinfect, and less likely to breed bacteria. Recycled Bat Houses offer bats an excellent habitat. The material also stabilizes temperatures more effectively than wood. This is an important factor with bat houses, as bats prefer a warmer, and somewhat moist environment.
Invite bats to hang out in your yard and control insect populations the natural way!
