Earlier this year I made a preliminary inquiry to my landlord about potentially trying to put a bathouse on the property, to attract bats and maybe cut down on the local mosquito problem.
And, he was nice about it, but it was "a hard no," he said, because bats can get in the attics of old houses like the front house and just wreak incredible damage, there.
Like a few months later, though, during a mid-winter thaw when all of the snow had melted away everywhere, he came over to the property, and I saw him up on the roof of my cottage, clearing its gutters of leaves.
. . .
(Mosquitos often breed in such spaces.)
