Aka some camouflaged bat boxes. This is my attempt to reduce the mosquito population, that said there is no guarantee that the bats will nest in the boxes. I built these last year but with so many other projects on the go they’ve sat for a while. Had to get them up soon otherwise another year will have passed so we made the effort and got them up.
Wood is the same wood we are using for our windows which has been thermally modified so very rot resistant. It has a beautiful mahogany color but I decided to paint them so they would blend in. Okay the colors don’t quite match and they should probably should have been positioned under each chimney but I think they will fade and weather in time and I was using existing hooks in the wall.
Last few pictures are some tracks we found in the lime mortar dust. I suspect some of them are Millipede/Centipedes.
The bat boxes are superb, no other word for it. As for the millipedes, OMG! Run for the hills.
Thanks squire!!!
