Original Bat Box - Double Chamber

Original Bat Box

August 2018 – Product Relaunch with new chevron decoration

Bats are in need of habitat as many of their roosting places have been lost over recent years. This high capacity bat box offers two chambers and a valuable high capacity roost for a variety of species.

It will fit into any garden, woodland, or a house wall site. Made from solid, high quality, durable FSC certified timber it provides longevity and excellent insulation. The narrow entrance slot and strong timber help to discourage predators. A swing panel allows for cleaning, if required by a licensed bat worker.

The bat box should be sited high up between 2.5m and 5m on a building or mature tree using the pre-drilled back plate hanger. The ideal aspect is so the box receives only part sun during the day North, South West or South East. If it is on an existing feeding or flight route you are more likely to get occupation.

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 may only be inspected by a licensed bat worker. However, you can monitor your bat box without disturbance, look for mouse-sized droppings beneath the box as a clue to occupation or observe from a distance at dusk to see if bats are exiting the box to hunt. Dimensions: 16 × 16 × 28 cm
