Usage
The crevice box features two internal crevices, ideal for common pipistrelle and soprano pipistrelle bats. The cavity box is suitable for cavity roosting bats. It is recommended to position the bat boxes as high as possible in a sheltered sunny place, ideally facing in different directions to provide a range of conditions. Bats may take time to find and explore new homes, so patience is required.
