Bats In My Citrus Trees

[Bugbear]

Well, I'm not sure how big these are, but probably fairly small.

I did look it up just to make sure, and some of the bats out here do roost in palm trees, especially the skirts of dead palm fronds. I have a couple of very tall Mexican palms (fifty or sixty feet tall) and they could roost up there. This neighborhood has several tall palms, though, that don't get trimmed and have very large skirts. It sounds like they would prefer that situation.

I wouldn't mind having a bat house up above my compost heap.

But they're doing their work on the bugs. Now if I could only train the ants to till the garden.

I didn't know that. Find out something new everyday

Well then, I'll bet thats where they're at

The park where I got married, & also where our local highland games are held, have bat houses strategically placed in the various trees. I always thought it a neat idea. And like you said, they do their job on the bugs.

Ha!Ha!

Do you have fire ants down your way Ted?
I remember those mean boogers when I was at Fort Benning.
Just curious.
