Eagle Scout candidate organizes bat condos
Condo living isn't just for people anymore.
More than a thousand free-tail bats are getting ready to move into their new home thanks to a local Eagle Scout candidate.
Will Judson of Boy Scout Troop 809 said he wanted to do something a little different to benefit the community.
The bat condos, donated by the San Antonio Parks Department, will house up to 1,600 bats that will feed on nearly 7 million mosquitoes every night.
"Mosquitos are a nuisance to people daily, so I figured why not do a favor to the community and limit some of the mosquito problems here,"said Judson.
The condos stand about 16 feet tall and will house the bats that will consume about 3.5 tons of mosquitos annually.
