how potent? I plan on building this towards the back of my yard away from the house
My neighbor built one in the back of our yards along the fence line and it's got 10 or 12 in it so far. It stinks when you get right up on it but the upside is our mosquito population seems to have decreased by probably half.

Would it be as effective if I hung the box on the back of my privacy fence?

Bats in temperate areas of the world are almost exclusively insectivorous. Food items identified in their diet are primarily beetles, wasps, and moths. Mosquitoes have comprised less than 1% of gut contents of wild caught bats in all studies to date. Bats tend to be opportunistic feeders. They do not appear to specialize on particular types of insects, but will feed on whatever food source presents itself. Large, concentrated populations of mosquitoes could provide adequate nutrition in the absence of alternative food. However, a moth provides much more nutritional value per capture than a mosquito

We have a bunch of bats in our football stadium at ULM. It does a good job of keeping bugs away and people

This might be the largest bat house ever built. There is no evidence that a bat has ever visited it.
