Purpose: Recently, bat conservation efforts have emerged in the United States. This is due, in large part, to the Bat Conservation International Association made up of biologists researching bats globally. Through their research we have learned that some bat species will use man-made structures for daytime roosts and, in some cases, to raise their young. In Oklahoma, interest in bats grows greater each year, probably due to the fact that bats are the only predators of night-flying insects, such as mosquitoes. Wetlands offer an adequate number of prey species and are, therefore, excellent locations to place bat houses.
