Why Choose This Bat House?
-
High-capacity design: Engineered to accommodate up to 20 bats, making it ideal for attracting a whole colony and helping reduce insect populations on your property.
-
Eco-friendly construction: Manufactured from recycled plastic bottles/poly lumber, this bat house keeps waste out of landfills and supports sustainable outdoor living.
-
Built to last: Unlike wood, the poly lumber won’t rot, warp, split, or need painting. The color is impregnated into the material — it holds more than 95% of its original color, even after prolonged sun exposure.
-
Handcrafted in the USA: Each unit is Amish-handcrafted with stainless-steel screws for maximum weather resistance and longevity.
-
Fully assembled and customizable: Choose your roof and side colors via dropdown; the unit ships ready to mount and typically builds in about one week, ships in two.
Installation & Performance Tips
Proper placement of your bat house increases your chances of occupancy and pest control benefits:
-
Mount at least 15 feet above the ground (12-20 ft is typically optimal) so bats can dive and enter easily. Bat Conservation International+1
-
Install on a south or southeast-facing wall or pole that receives 6-10 hours of sun daily. Brighter colors work better in hotter climates to avoid overheating; darker shades can help in cooler areas. UC Master Gardener Program VMS+1
-
Avoid locations with frequent disturbances or heavy lighting; clear flight passage and nearby water or insect-rich zones help attract bats. Rowayton Gardeners
-
Allow time — it may take several months (or more than a year) for bats to relocate in, so patience pays off.
