BIRDS: Natural Pest Control
A simple wooden birdhouse gives birds a home of their own in your yard – a safe place to raise their young. Some birds that will use a birdhouse include bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, titmice and purple martins. Birds are not only fun to watch – they also eat insects that may want to munch on the plants in your garden.
BATS: Your Backyard's Best Friend
Bats eat thousands of insects every night – including pesky mosquitoes. They also eat insects that could damage crops. Welcome bats to your backyard by putting up a bat house to give them a roosting area. You can even build the bat house yourself!
