This premium quality conservation bat box is handcrafted from untreated solid, durable FSC-certified timber, offering excellent longevity and excellent insulation. Please note: Bats are susceptible to smell and will de deterred by any treatments applied.
The robust design includes twin vertical chambers and a slanted, cut-away front with ladder-style grooves, making it easier for bats to access their preferred chamber. The multi-species layout is suitable for a variety of UK bat species.
The hinged roof, secured with a removable screw (earlier version also featured a brass catch), allows for internal inspection by licensed bat workers. A recycled plastic hanger is included for straightforward mounting on trees or buildings.
Handcrafted from untreated, breathable timber
Decorative front finish, water-based paint only
Designed to allow bat droppings to fall to the floor, so doesn't require a licensed bat worker for cleaning
Mount the conservation bat box high up, between 2.5m and 5m on a building or mature tree using the pre-drilled hanger
The ideal aspect is north, southwest or southeast where the box receives only partial sun during the day
Placement along existing bat flight paths or feeding routes increases the chance of occupation
Please note: Bats are a schedule 1 protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. It is illegal for any member of the public to disturb a roost, handle or kill any bat. Bat boxes, therefore, must only be inspected by licensed bat workers. However, you can monitor your bat box without disturbance by looking for mouse-sized droppings beneath the box or observing from a distance at dusk to check for activity.
