Was have a small forest and creek in the back end of our property, which during the summer creates the perfect environment for mosquitoes. We did quite a bit of research to find natural ways to keep our mosquitoes in check, and ultimately discovered that bats are mosquito eating machines. We take great pride in our brewery, and wanted to hang bat houses that were not just functional but also looked attractive to our customers. In addition to the aesthetics, the design elements of the bat houses were very important to us. We wanted bat houses made out of cedar, dual chambered, with air vents, and ridges on the inside. We decided that if we were going to dedicate our time and effort into hanging up bat houses, we would go with the most premier bat houses we could find to maximize our chances of having bats move in

We continually look for ways to implement sustainable solutions at the Bardstown Bourbon Company. Because we are located on 100 acres of active farmland, and we feature a large outdoor dining and patio area , the bat houses provide a perfect, natural way to control the bug and mosquito population on our property.

We displaced a number of bats while doing renovation work on some of our historic residence halls so wanted to provide homes for them rather than have them move back into other buildings. The bat houses we purchased are in an environmentally sensitive area along a busy pedestrian corridor, at a university that prides itself on its appearance.
