Attract more than just birds with bat houses, butterfly houses and toad houses ....
If you really want to get up close and person with nature then try installing bat houses, butterfly houses and toad houses. These types of houses are for nature-lovers who want to go one step beyond attracting birds to his or her backyard. You might think that you don't want to install bathouses in your yard, but it is better than having them nest in your belfry (or attic). Bat houses are usually made of wood and look like thin mailboxes. The older the wood the better as bats are insectivores. Butterfly houses are also long tall boxes with slips in the side that resemble the holes in a piggy bank so that the butterfly with its wings closed can hop in. These houses are usually filled with bark so they can have a place to nest and breed. Toad houses are little squat dwellings that can be placed in your yard near to a pond or in a grassy place. Often these quaint little single cavity structures are designed to look like story-book dwellings or mushrooms. If you are interested in adding more life to your garden by buying bathouses, butterfly houses or toad house, then you might want to check out the offerings from the vendors listed below. These sites are specialty online boutiques that offer artistic, amusing or one of a kind houses for many different kinds of garden creatures.
