I can't tell you the amount of fear some people have of these little guys, but honestly they are among some of the best friends we humans have. When I first heard of the detection of this ailment in caves in Albany, NY 2 years ago I was hoping that it wouldn't carry into CT until 2009. Now that I see it is in NH already I can see it's moving too fast!

On our property there are "bat houses" that were put up 70-80 years ago that are still there. I plan on erecting more this summer. If you don't like mosquitos, I would urge you to place a 1/2 dozen or more of these small simple "homes" for bats on your property. Thy are cheap to construct and will definitely impact the mosquito population in your area.
