National Trust Bat Box

This Bat Box from the National Trust features a single chamber of FSC certified timber with rough sawn internal landing.
The open design allows for easy inspection and reduces the need to clean

Siting - The bat box should be sited 3 - 5 metres high on a tree post or building. Facing north, south-east or south-west ideally.

Observe the bat box from a distance at dusk to see if any bats are exiting to hunt or look for droppings underneath.

Note: Bats are a protected species, It is illegal to disturb a roost, handle or kill any bat. Bat boxes therefore may only be inspected by a licensed bat worker.
