It helps if you actually live near bats.

I came home to a small ball of fluff and wings wrapped up in the corner of my porch one day, so for gits and shiggles I put up a small bat box on a post against the trees nearby.

It took a week or two but I noticed it was in use when I went outside one night and saw one pop out of it.

Protip: be very careful about what you use to stain/paint it. Apparently they don't like the smell of those things. I didn't paint mine.

Bats need a real estate agent...

So you SHOULDN'T expect thousands of bats to travel thousands of miles for your roost? Good to know!
