General description

Installation

Mount the bat box on buildings or trees, ideally positioned high in a sheltered, sunny location.

Consider placing several boxes facing different directions to create varied conditions.

Usage

Allow time for bats to discover and explore the box; it may take several years for it to be occupied.

Signs of occupation include droppings on the landing area, stains around the box, and chittering noises from inside during warm afternoons and evenings.

Checking for occupancy can be done by shining a torch into the crevices or looking for droppings below the box.

Other information

This bat box features a weatherproof outer shell designed to last at least 20 years, protecting the wooden interior from the elements.

The rough-sawn wood provides good grip for bats, and the self-cleaning design prevents droppings from accumulating inside.
