			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Mrs. C.A. in <em><strong>Lansing, Mi.</strong></em> purchased a <strong><em>Triple Cell bat house</em></strong> painted black and had Batsbirdsyard install her new <strong>bat house</strong> on a single pole mounting bracket system with a 2 3/8 inch steel pole system. She has an ideal location for keeping the bats around her yard after they were evicted from the resident house structure. The family has a nice pond with fresh flowing water, and a lot of plants in her yard for the bats to feast on the insects which makes for an ideal bat habitat.</p>
<p>Mrs C. stated she was very pleased with her new bat house and the installation service that we provided for her.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.BatsBirdsYard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cid_B8E37FFA785111E1BF47DBCB72BCCC4E@snj-us-pcwp-705_kodak1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-482" title="!cid_B8E37FFA785111E1BF47DBCB72BCCC4E@snj-us-pcwp-705_kodak" src="http://www.BatsBirdsYard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cid_B8E37FFA785111E1BF47DBCB72BCCC4E@snj-us-pcwp-705_kodak1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="768" /></a></p>
<p>Thank you Mrs C., it was a pleasure to assist you with your bat house needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Spring</strong></em> is only two days away. <strong><em>March 20/2012</em></strong> is the first day of spring and you should make an inspection of your <strong><em>Bat</em><em> Houses</em></strong> and <strong><em>Bird Houses.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>This is also a great time for replacement or new installation.</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Bird Houses</strong></em> should have any old nesting removed and make sure they are mounted  securely. Also check and see if you have any unwanted bee nests. Look at the entrance hole to make sure the squirrels have not destroyed the size of the opening. You may need to replace the front panel or even replace the <strong><em>bird house</em></strong>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Bat houses</strong></em> need to be checked to make sure you have no split wood. If you find wood split then caulk the cracks and repaint or stain the <strong>bat house</strong>.Make sure you use an exterior latex material. Also check to make sure there are no Mud Dauber ( wasp) nests on the inside or attached to the outside of the <strong><em>bat house</em></strong>.If so remove them.</p>
