Suitable for
This bat box has been designed for building-dwelling bat species. As a summer roost and mating roost, the box is specifically suitable for common pipistrelles and Nathusius’ pipistrelles.
 
Design
The box has been designed as a surface-mounted shell-type bat box. The bat box has no rear panel; instead, it is installed onto the external wall as a shell. Bats can climb into the box via the rough external wall surface.
 
The box is supplied with a special foam seal that can be applied around the rear edge of the box to create an optimal seal against the external wall. The box can be easily installed using the special fixing openings and the screws supplied.
 
Position
Install the box on a building or structure at a minimum height of 3 m, but preferably as high as possible. Do not install the box near a window or streetlight. Preferably give the box a sunny position.
Bat boxes are usually discovered most quickly when installed close to an existing bat flight route. Suitable positions for bat boxes include locations just below roof edges.
 
Installation
The boxes are easy to install using the screws and instruction card supplied.
 
This bat box is often purchased together with VMTH1a, GZTH1, HMTH1 and HOTH1.
