Description
A high-specification bat box - Built specifically for conservation professionals and pro landscapers.
This premium quality Conservation Bat Box is handmade from untreated solid, high-quality, durable FSC-certified timber, providing longevity and excellent insulation. Please Note: Bats are susceptible to smell and will be deterred by any treatments applied.
This durable bat box features twin vertical chambers and an angled, cut-away front with ladder-style grooves, making it easier for bats to climb into their preferred chamber. The multi-species design supports a range of UK bat species.
The hinged roof, secured by a removable screw (the earlier variant also had a brass catch), allows for internal inspection by licensed bat workers. A recycled plastic hanger is including for easy mounting on trees or buildings.
Key Features
- 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 licenced bat worker for cleaning
Installation & Siting
- 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, South West or South East, 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 & 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.
