Today I installed 7 bat boxes at Clarkson Reserve in the City of Baywater. These boxes have been put in place with the hope to encourage native micro-bats, in an effort to control mosquito numbers in the area. Bats are very efficient native predator of mosquitoes, and but often lack suitable roosting sites. It's really encouraging to know that people are keen to implement as many natural solutions to environmental issues as possible, avoiding such things as pesticides which are harmful to not only mozzies but a whole range of other animals.
