This oak/larch double chambered box provides habitat for many bats. The heavy construction provides good insulation and longevity, as well as preventing predators from chewing the entrance slot. There is an access ladder and hinged front door providing access for inspection and cleaning. Bat boxes should be sited 2.5 to 5 mtrs high (depending on whether low or high flying bats are sighted) Bats may change direction of roost preferred, dependant on weather conditions and season. Ideally three boxes should be fixed on a tree facing north, or south to south east.

An unusual, but memorable gift idea, this box will help provide local bats with a much needed place to roost and shelter throughout the year. It offers good insulation and easy access via the entrance slot at the bottom.

It should be attached to a tree in an area where bats have been seen or are known to feed. Site the box as high as possible in a sheltered, wind free area.

This model has two entrances, one at the rear against the tree trunk and one at the front. Bats often creep into the rear entrance but leave by the front.

It has a domed roof to form clusters and an increased internal height. It is very suitable for woodland species like the Noctule (Nyctalus noctula) and has proven highly successful. In one instance 28 Great Bats with nine young was recorded in a 2FN, and this is not uncommon.

It is effective against small predators and excludes draughts and light. This model is particularly suitable for use in parks and forests.
