Installation

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

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.

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