Does anyone have a bat box? I’ve had a bat box for about a year but still have not been able to get a bat to make it home. Does anyone have any advice on how to get a bat to occupy my bat box?

If it isn't near a water source, it can take years. Be patient.

That explains the bat signal and the bat pole.

I too had one up for years and i lived on a river at my old place. They never used it but they sure made a home hanging inside the garage right at the entrance to my kitchen door. Hung there every night heard them scratching on the door trying to get comfortable. Daughter would forget sometimes and swing the door wide open to go down into the garage to laundry room and they'd drop in to the kitchen/living room and just freak out the kids. Then we'd have to leave open all the outside doors so that they'd escape eventually.

These tips from the Bat Conservation International may help you guys draw them in.

They are funny characters. They don't move colonies often.

Do you sit out in your garden at night? If you have a pond that is close (¼ mile or less), I'd be shocked they aren't in your garden. Try and research to see if you have some things going on that they strongly dislike. Sounds to me like you've got ¾ of what they do like with having a water source that isn't just a fountain.

Sometimes I see some flying around. But I have never found them in my garden.
