Background of Project

The Willow Water Hole is a series of retention ponds and acres of greenspace that offer Houstonians relief from flooding concerns and recreational opportunities. The Willow Water contains many bayous that provide many resources for much wildlife. One of the members of this wildlife is mosquitoes, which can carry multiple diseases and spread them easily. The Willow Water Hole is currently constructing Levitt Pavilion to hold outdoor concerts, however, mosquitoes pose a threat to many present and future guests of the Willow Water Hole. The Willow Water Hole is looking for an efficient way of mosquito control.

Furthermore, the bat species is very underrepresented in their endangerment status and are often misinterpreted in their way of life and their uses; most people have a negative and incorrect interpretation of bats. Bats eat half their weight in mosquitoes every night; bats can act as a very productive source of mosquito control for the Willow Water Hole and only about 0.05% of all bats have rabies. Bats are also great pollinators and eat many other harm-infesting insects.
