Microbat houses up today – bring ‘em on
Murray and the microbat boxes in the tree
Today the very marvellous Murray Cox, landscaper and gardening extraordinaire, put three microbat house boxes into the tree in my back garden.
These tiny critters eat over a thousand mozzies a day which will be welcome here in mozzie driven Chippo.
It can take more than a year for them to find it. I’ll know when they’re here when I see them at evening light and by guano at the base of the boxes.
The design for the boxes, generously built and provided by the specialist recycling building firm, Paramount Property Group, and background information is on the previous post but one.
Exciting times – great to be restoring habitat that’s mostly lost to these lovely little critters.

What a great idea. i would love to put some micro bat houses in my place too. The frog pond has mozzies galore in the summer.
Awesome Michael .. Great idea.. have fond memories of them flying in through my front door and out the back door during summer nights while they fed on the mozzies on the wing..
