[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4032397, member: 5412"] I built a couple according the ODW plans since we had some already swarming our yard light in the evenings. In three or four years, we never got anything but wasps. Didn't really understand it then, but since have read that they are very temperature sensitive during the daylight hours. The bat house has to be tall enough and with enough ventilation to allow them to move up and down with the heat of the day. It also has to be positioned for the correct amount of sunlight/shade during the day. Sun early, and shade the rest of the day. We did ours wrong having sun in the afternoon. There is a lot of information out there on the web which didn't exist a lot when putting up our bat houses. [/QUOTE]
