Tony Koch inspecting some of his many bat houses occupied by little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) in the attic of his Oregon barn. These houses, all together sheltered more than 1,000 bats. The attic would overheat relative to the bats' needs on some hot summer days, so Tony installed a thermostat-controled fan to be activated during exceptionally hot days.  Prior to attracting bats, he normally found 1-3 corn earworm caterpillars per ear of corn in his garden. He rarely found any thereafter. Bat Houses
