Description

Our bat boxes are featured by the Canadian Wildlife Federation as an ideal home for bats according to the results of the Canadian Bat Box Study.

You can find our boxes on their website  (en français).

 

All of our bat houses are built with Canadian Cedar sides and roof, Fir plywood exterior and spruce plywood interior. The front exterior is finished with exterior grade black paint to help absorb sunlight for additional heat. All exposed wood is sealed with teak oil and spar varnish mixed solution for protection from the elements. The bat houses are equipped with side venting to help with air circulation. In a nutshell, this bat house is built to last a long time.

The stylish sleek design of this bat house will complement the outside of any home. Each bat house can hold hundreds of bats and considering one bat can eat up to 8,000 mosquito-sized insects a night that’s a lot of flying pest control!!

Our most popular bat house is a 3 chamber and we have the ability to make 4 and 5 chamber houses as well.

Every bat house can be custom etched on the front to feature your family or business name (included in price). The etching will appear on the bottom where the bat house is not painted. After we receive your order we will email you with a proof, for approval, before we etch your bat house.

The dimensions of a 3 chamber are 27” (H) x 18” (L) x 5.5” (D)

Installation

 

When installing your bat box, do your best to stick to several or all of the following guidelines:

  • Height is important. Install the bat box a minimum of 12 feet off the ground.
  • Bats like a warm climate. Make sure the box will get some sun.
    • NOTE: If you worry that your bat box will not get enough sun, paint it with non-toxic black paint so that the sun it does get is more easily absorbed. Do not paint the inside of the house.
  • Install by water. Bats will find the box more easily if there is a water source nearby.
  • Trees are an alright option, but if you can, attach your box to the side of a house or pole instead.
  • Provide open space. Consider a nice open area facing south or southeast to keep bats protected and cozy.
