Bat boxes can be mounted on both buildings and trees. Try to position your box as high as possible in a sheltered sunny place. Ideally, several boxes should be put up facing in different directions to provide a range of conditions. Bats need time to find and explore new homes, and it may be several years before boxes have residents – be patient! Droppings on the landing area and chittering noises from inside on warm afternoons and evenings are signs of occupation.Features:Improved updated design for 2023.Recycled plastic weatherproof shell to provide long lasting protection.UK Grown locally sourced wooden internal chamber to provide an attractive roosting space for bats.Available with two different roost chambers designed for either crevice or cavity roosting bats.Self-cleaning design requires no maintenance.Black exterior designed to capture sun's heat with good insulation to keep the box warm.Specifications:Materials: Recycled LDPE plastic outer with internal certified rough sawn timber chamberConstruction: Outer panels fitting together using integral tabbing system.
