Description
Wildlife World Conservation Bat Box
Featuring two vertical chambers and a sloped, cut-away front with ladder-style grooves, the design makes it easy for bats to grip and select their preferred roosting space. A hinged roof, fastened with a removable screw (previous versions included a brass catch), allows licensed bat workers to carry out inspections when required.
Each unit is handcrafted from robust, untreated FSC-certified timber, chosen for its durability, breathability, and insulating properties. Because bats are highly susceptible to smell, the wood is left untreated - only water-based paints should be used for decorative finishes.
The self-cleaning design ensures droppings fall naturally to the ground, eliminating the need for cleaning access by a licensed handler.
Installation & Siting
- Mount the Conservation Bat Box high up, between 2.5m and 5m on a building or mature tree using the pre-drilled hanger.
- The ideal aspect is North, South West or South East, where the box receives only partial sun during the day.
- Placement along existing bat flight paths or feeding routes increases the chance of occupation
Please Note: 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, must only be inspected by licensed bat workers. However, you can monitor your bat box without disturbance by looking for mouse-sized droppings beneath the box or observing from a distance at dusk to check for activity.
