Where's the best place to put up a bathouse, to help keep the bugs under control in my garden?

it's bathouse, not bath house, so as not to confuse anyone :)Where's the best place to put up a bathouse, to help keep the bugs under control in my garden?
What you really want isn't a bat house, but a Martin house. Martins are birds similar to swallows that eat about 3 times their weight in mosquitoes and other flying pests. I've seen Matin houses that are 4 and 5 stories high. Like a bird condo. More birds fewer bugs. And no worries about bat bites.Where's the best place to put up a bathouse, to help keep the bugs under control in my garden?
It looks like this site has what you want to know. Giving bats a home will definitely help keep the mosquitos away!
