Welcome to BatHouseGuy.com. My name is Allan Kempert and I'm the owner of this dynamic BAT BUSINESS.
History
In 2000, after building our family home in the vacinity of a 21 acre wetland area, my family and I had trouble enjoying our paradise due to mosquitoes and black flies. I new that one bat could eat in excess of 1,200 insects per hour and being a frugile man, I recognized that a colony of bats would have a better payback than a propane guzzling "Mosquitoe Trap" from a store. I had a friend construct a bat house for me and I wanted more bat houses but as stated, I'm a frugile man and I didn't want to pay for another bat house. The paradise in which I lived had copius quantities of cedar trees so I decided to construct "natural cedar" bat houses via my chain saw. I constructed these bat houses 100% with a chain saw and was featured in the local newspaper. The houses were in demand but so was the demand to assist people with getting the bats out of their attics. My customers asked if I could take on bat evictions and thus started the next leg of the BatHouseGuy.com journey. Our bat houses are no longer constructed with a chainsaw and are now made to Bat Conservation International standards by more traditional methods (Bat House Page) .
As the bat eviction portion of the business grew, Do-It-Yourselfers would send me e-mails or drop by the house for some bat eviction advice. I was more than happy to give this advice as long as the people were giving the bats alternative roosts and practising bat conservation. The demand for advice was overwhelming so I decided to publish a "Simple Bat Eviction" guide, which is perfect for Do-It-Yourselfers on How To Humanely Get Rid of Bats. The Bat Eviction Guide can be purchased at participating Home Hardware Stores (give the Home Hardware store owner, in your area, this website name if they don't currently sell this soon to be best seller) or you can buy on-line here (D-I-Y page) .

As mentioned above, bat conservation is a priority with me and I have gained an appreciation over the years for the positive impact bats can have for agricultural. The farmers in the state of Texas are saving millions of dollars in pest control costs year after year, due to the Natural Pest Control performed by bats. I have been working closely with orchards and organic dairy farms to build their populations of these natural Pest Controllers (Agricultural page) .
