Great advice Sharon! We have put up a bat house at our previous house (never used, but in awful location) and mounted one here when we moved in over 8 years ago. Never used either, but our area has the Little Brown Bats and they prefer trees and we are surrounded by woods and forests. They do a great job on the mosquitoes even though there's a pond across the street and we have a small one in our backyard.
There are some tips on installing them so that bats will be attracted. This post on a blog may be of help to folks:
