Step Father and I are working on some Bat boxes to lure in the bats for mosquito control. I Absolutely Love pest and recycle control critters. Possum bros, Dillo bros, Spider bros, lizards, frogs..but the frogs could do a better job of stfu..so loud at night

Yeah, the house I grew up in had so many frogs that you couldn't watch TV or make a phone call at night, it was like having the worst tinnitus every night. Frogs are cute, but that was too much!
