Eco Bat Box with Cavity Roosting Chamber

Description

The Eco Bat Box combines a UV stabilised, weatherproof shell made from 100% recycled plastic, with a wooden internal roost chamber. The bat boxes outer shell is constructed from recycled plastic made from bale wrap (collected from UK farms) and other plastic waste. Within the outer shell is a wooden roost chamber to provide an attractive roost space for bats. The internal roost chamber is constructed from UK grown rough sawn untreated timber which provides plenty of grip for bats to move around, hang and roost from. In the UK, different bat species have different roost requirements. The Eco Bat Box with cavity roosting chamber is designed for cavity roosting bats such as Brown Long-Eared bats and Noctules with a single internal cavity 60mm wide with rough walls and roof for bats to hang from. The box requires no maintenance or cleaning as its designed with angled baffles which mean droppings simply fall out of the entrance slot. At the base of the box, the protected landing ladder makes access to the box easy for the bats. Bat boxes can be mounted on both buildings and trees. Try to position your box as high as possible in a sheltered sunny place. Ideally, several boxes should be put up facing in different directions to provide a range of conditions. Bats need time to find and explore new homes, and it may be several years before boxes have residents - be patient! Droppings on the landing area and chittering noises from inside on warm afternoons and evenings are signs of occupation. Please note: All bats and roosts are protected by law and you should only open a bat box to check it if you hold an appropriate licence.
