I bet they come out great!

Kurt, in my neighborhood, we all have cedar siding, and after we stain, it doesn't seem to stop them from coming back.

A few for SWMA and 20 or so for the bayou.

Or just one the size of a Seaside carriage house

I have a friend who has a Ph.D. in biology and is a bat expert. He has been on Atlanta TV with his expertise. He probably wouldn't appreciate me advertising his email address to strangers, but I will PM it to you, Kurt.

Most recommendations are to mount them on poles rather than trees or houses.

When we lived in Gainesville FL, our biologist friend had very good success with his in a tree about 15 to 20 feet off the ground. He had a wooded lot and it was not real close to the house.

In Gainesville by Lake Alice near my house there - as I recall it took quite a few years for the bats to inhabit.

nice pics!
I don't know how long it took him to get them established. You better get started now then eh? If others are in the area already, it might be easier/quicker.
Good luck, your son will love this too!
