While many people probably hate having to duck while they are in their own backyards you will enjoy knowing that bats have many benefits in your backyard.
I know that at times it can seem like the bat is going to be diving down and attacking your head and neck like you would see in some movies, but they typically avoid humans.
Now that I have had bats flying around in my backyard for a couple of years now I know the benefits that I can enjoy from this and here are the benefits that I have discovered.
The first benefit that I have found of having bats flying around my backyard at night is that I am not getting as many mosquito bites.
Now for some people that live in an area when mosquitoes are not a problem you will find that some other insects that are around your area that bite might be controlled more by having bats in your backyard.
I know that if you use pesticides to control your insects you might be like I was and trying to find a natural solution to your bug problem, bats are the answer to that!
The second benefit of having bats in your backyard is that you’re able to enjoy seeing these beautiful creatures flying around. Now if you have not had the joy of seeing a bat fly you will be amazed at how they fly.
You might be arguing that the bats fly the same as birds which is true in principle, but when you watch them fly you will be amazed at the bat’s agility and turning ability. It will seem like they are turning on a dime, but then you will realize that they are turning to chase after an insect that is nearby.
The third benefit is that they do not bug you. I know that like I said earlier people might consider them to be a pest and will attack them, but I have never had that problem.
So I know that if the bats in your backyards are like mine you will not have to worry about them attacking you.
Having bats in your backyard is a great thing to have. They are a great natural insect control, are a beautiful thing to see flying, and do not really have the tendency to attack us.
So if you have bats in your backyard you should feel blessed that they have chosen your yard and not think that it is a curse.
