Pretty decent bat house book.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Building Bat Houses: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-178 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)
When I first saw this book, I was pretty excited. It looked like a very inexpensive way to introduce folks to my bat house hobby. I purchased the book, and read it immediately. I was a little bit disappointed. It seems like this book covers all of the main points about building successful bat house, but it was much harder to follow than the "Bat House Builder's Handbook." I also felt that the plans looked much less detailed, and the pictures were lacking in general.This book did have a ton of information about exluding bats, and I think that it is probably an exellent referance for people who are looking to get bats out of their attic. While this book is a decent bat house book, I would recomend that folks interested in building bat houses shell out the extra few dollars and get the "Bat House builder's handbook" instead.

This review is from: Building Bat Houses: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-178 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)
I am very impressed at how comprehensive this small booklet is. Using readable English and clear diagrams, Building Bat Houses provides interesting bat information, bat house location and construction details (including tool and materials lists), and explicit plans for bat houses of 3 different sizes. Major Disclaimer: We haven't actually built the house yet!
