What are the dangers of possible rabies from bats ??? I am thinking of a bat house to help with mosquitos...I can mount it a maximum of 12 foot....Will that be high enough...

  I have 3 mounted and 2 have bats in them.
  
  The biggest problem is guano under the houses.

  Almost zero chance of rabies. The bat poop is excellent fertilizer.

  Keep in mind the spacing between the interior baffles when purchasing. Don't remember the dim. but if not correct, wasps will tend to get in there and nest[:(!]. Has to be facing the correct direction and may take many years attract them, good luck and keep us posted.

  While bats, like other mammals, are susceptible to rabies their system is so fragile that they will usually die very quickly if they contract the disease, thus limiting their ability to infect other critters. I'd be far more concerned with skunks and 'coons.

  Yes when I first saw the statistic on how many mosquitos a single bat can eat in a single night - well now I love seeing them any where near my house!
