Large Bat Box

This bat friendly box is designed to helps bats in your local area. With its grooved-ladder it provides a draft proof nest to welcome bats into a safe environment. You may even be lucky enough to house a family of bats, this rare sight would be magnificent as many species only have one pup a year. The interior of the bat house is designed to mimic the narrow and bumpy spaces between tree trunks and bark that bats are known to roost in.
Having a bat house could also benefit you and your garden as insects and pests such as beetles, moths and mosquitos are a desirable food source for bats, which can reduce their presence in your garden.

To ensure the best placement for your bat house, it should be placed at least 4 metres above ground level, away from artificial lights, and in a sheltered area with a sunny aspect to provide heat. It is recommended to place the house facing South, South-East or South-West. Bats navigate using dark tree outlines and hedge borders, so placing the bat house near these features can help them locate it more easily.

To install simply affix to your chosen spot with a nail.

Please note:
Bats are a protected species in the UK, do not open, relocate, or disturb a bat house once bats have taken up residence. If you see bats in your area, the best time to observe them is just before dusk between April and November. They tend to hibernate during the winter months.
Additionally, it is important not to paint the bat house as bats are sensitive to artificial chemicals and toxins.
