Our only line of Bat Houses that have earned the Bat Conservation International's "Bat Approved" Certification.
This large house was designed based on the results of more than 10 years of research
and meets and exceeds all 10 criteria as outlined by "Bat Conservation
International" bat certification program.
Bat houses such as this tend to have higher occupancy rates than the
smaller houses. The interior surface and landing platform is made of rough cut
cedar make it easy for bats to cling when roosting and landing.
The ventilation gap in the front of the house in conjunction with the
attic space / birthing chamber serves to maintain proper temperature and helps
with air circulation. The roof is slanted forward at 30 degrees for better
rain run-off.
This bat house weathers beautifully as it is made of weather-resistant
Western Red Cedar. The house is fully caulked and offers a longer design which
is a key factor in occupancy. 3/4" chamber(s) give protection from predators,
and deters wasp and hornets which prefer 1 1/2" chambers.
The chamber(s) are also constructed with rough cut cedar which provide
great grasping points for bats. Proper bat house design is a very important
factor in occupancy. This design has been proven to have a greater than 80%
occupancy rate. Triple-celled bat houses tend to work quicker and for longer
periods (i.e. throughout spring, summer, and fall).
Comes with mounting instructions and screws.
