How do you attract bats to a certain area?

Question

Is there a way to attract bats to a certain area? I understand that you can build a bat box, but are there any others. We are trying to find a way to decrease the amount of bugs at our local swimming pool, and bats are a natural way to do that.

Answer 1

lol, idk. that's cool though. bat box is good. and you said there are bugs. it shouldnt be too terribly hard if bats are common in your area. try shining the bat-signal. :P

Answer 2

If there are lots of bugs there..there may already be some bats in the area feeding on them.  You can also place a bat box..but there is no guaranteee that bats will use it.  Look here for tips on where to place a bat box for the best chance of bats taking up residence:
