Nestbox Co Integrated Eco Bat Box with Cavity Roosting Chamber in Green

Description

This Integrated Eco Bat Box is designed to be built into buildings. The built-in bat boxes are equally well suited to brick walls, timber cladding, random stone or external insulation where it can provide a permanent roost space for bats. The box consists of an external shell of UV stabilised recycled plastic to provide sealed, long lasting weather protection whilst internally it features a wooden box made from FSC Certified orientated strand board (OSB) providing a roost chamber for the bats. In the UK, different bat species have different roost requirements. The Integrated Eco Bat Box with Cavity roosting chamber is ideal for cavity roosting bats with a single internal cavity 60mm wide with rough walls and a roof for bats to hang from.The box requires no maintenance as it is designed with angled baffles which mean droppings simply fall out of the entrance slot. This box has a black carcass with a green coloured front panel to fit tastefully into your building. We suggest these built in bat boxes should be positioned 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 climb up to check this box if you hold an appropriate licence.
