Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction and widespread disease, bat populations have been decreasing for many years. In order to offset this decline, our bat houses provide these creatures with a safe place to roost and raise babies.
Proper placement is key to the success of a bat house. Keep the following information in mind before installation:
• Bat houses should be at least 12 feet off the ground, although 15-20 is ideal.
• Do not hang on a tree-instead, use a wooden post, metal pole, or building side.
• Try to maintain a 20- to 30-foot distance from branches, wires and other obstructions.
• Houses should face south or southeast and require a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight, with morning sun being the most favorable.
• Internal temperatures should stay between 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bat houses do best when they are located within ¼ mile of a body of water.
• Do not mount near bright, artificial lighting.
