GENERAL INFORMATION
Bats have gotten a bad rap in popular entertainment, but in reality they are an important and beneficial creature. One bat can eat its own weight in insects each night. Yet due to decades of unwarranted human fear and persecution, bats are in alarming decline. By putting up a bat house you are helping bats find a home. You will also benefit from having fewer yard and garden pests and will enjoy learning about bats and sharing your knowledge with friends and family.
Bats are not blind, and are actually very clean animals. They do not get caught in peoples’ hair or eat through the attic of your house. Bats will not interfere with feeding backyard birds, and they will not be disrupted by pets or children.
BAT HOUSE INFORMATION
Bat houses may be put up at any time of the year. They will more
than likely be occupied in the first three to four weeks after they
have been installed. Installing a bat house and exposing it to the
rain and sun will darken the color even more increasing the chances
of attracting bats to your bat house just that much better. Bats like
warm environments. Many of our Bat houses have
individual chambers and vents achieve a much better control of the
temperature. By doing this, they also increases the ability of the box
to hold more bats in a more comfortable environment.
HABITAT
Your bat house should be placed within 1/4 mile of a natural water source
such as a stream, river, or lake. Bats tend to fly along forest or water edges,
and bat houses located here tend to be found more quickly than other
locations.
MOUNTING YOUR BAT HOUSE
You may place your bat house on a tree, pole, or a building; however, boxes
mounted on poles or buildings tend to have a higher occupancy than those
mounted on trees. For mounting on buildings, wood or stone buildings are
best, and your bat house should be mounted under the eaves with some
sun exposure. You should mount your house 15-20 feet above the ground.
It should not be in a place lit by bright lights.
SUN EXPOSURE
You should place your bat house where it will receive at least six hours of sun
if you live in a region where average July temperatures range from 80-100 degrees
Fahrenheit. If you live in a region where average July temperature are less than
80 degrees Fahrenheit, you should mount your bat house where it will receive at
least 10 hours of sun.
