What started off as just bird friendly gardens has expanded to butterfly and even hedgehog friendly gardens; and now, in an attempt to help the dwindling population of UK bats, there are many people who are encouraging bats to be their garden guests.
How To Attract Bats to Your Garden
- Reduce your use of insecticides that can be harmful to bats.
- Bats love to feast on insects so having a garden with nectar-rich plants and flowers will be attractive. Try our Native Wildflower Seeds for Bats for the best results!
- A small pond in the garden is also quite encouraging.
- Provide a safe place for bats to roost and raise their young. You can make your own or simply check out our range of affordable, natural bat boxes!
- If you're planning on providing a home for local bats, remove any artificial lighting from near their roosts as this can cause them problems when hunting.
- Offer food! At Really Wild Bird Food, we stock Live Mealworms that are the perfect treat for bats!
