Two new bat houses were installed at Chimborazo Park yesterday. Bats are one of nature’s most efficient and eco-friendly methods of keeping mosquito populations under control. Just one bat can eat more than 1,000 mosquitoes in an hour. Mosquitoes breed in the neighboring ravine, where there is a lot of standing water. Hopefully, the new residents will help control the pests naturally, and eliminate the need for harsh chemical repellants. The bat houses are made possible by a generous grant from the Church Hill Association.
