Bat House Installation Service

2 Double Chamber on One Pole and 2 Triple Chamber on Another Pole

Mr. S. from New Mexico contacted me in late Jan of 2021 about installing some bat houses at his summer home in Lake Ann, Mi. when weather permits in June or July. After numerous emails back and forth, I agreed with MR.S. on the selection of location for the installation of two poles with four bat house. The poles were to be placed on an old section of railroad bed that ran alongside the lake; it was abandon in the late 1800 (so we didn't have to worry about trains). We decided on installing two double chamber houses on one 20 ft steel pole and two triple chamber houses on the second 20 ft steel pole.

We installed two 20'sections of 2 3/8" schedule 40 steel pipe painted black, two Secure EZ-up Brackets, two double cell bat house and two triple cell bat house. All of the houses were painted Hunter Green.

Job went well with the terrain being all sand. The poles are about 100' above grade level of the lake on a flat area where the railroad tracks once laid. Area gets about 5 to 6 hours of daily sun.

One Single Chamber and One Triple Chamber

Mr. Stefan K. from Brighton, Mi. contacted me about looking at his property up north in Houghton Lk., MI. about installing some Bat Houses. We had already installed two at his residence in Brighton. So I headed up north one day to look at his property deep in the woods of northern Mi. and made a determination that two houses would work out just fine for his little piece of paradise up north. We installed one Single Chamber and one Triple Chamber. Both were painted Dark Green and installed on 2 3/8" black steel pipe with our Single pole mounting bracket and the Easy-up-Swivel Bracket. The installation went just fine without any trees close by and a source of water in an wide open area of the property so the bats would be able to get a drink when need be. A great location for hunting Mosquitoes at dinner time.

"Thanks Phil. Great location for the houses." Stefan K., Houghton Lk., MI., 8-21-19

Installation of Bat Shelter Complex

The Bat Shelter Complex contains: 2 Single Chambers, 2 Three Chambers, 1 Five Chamber, 2 Back-to-back Mounting Brackets, 1 Single Pole Mounting Bracket

On or about 7/21/19 I received an email from Mr. D. about a BIG problem he was having with bats in his house. He thought he wanted some bat houses installed with the hopes of the bats taking up residence in them instead of his home.

Tad lives in Fennville, Mi. about 172 miles from our shop and he wanted to know if we would be willing to travel that far. I told him we can come out on an inspection but there would be an inspection service fee that is refundable back to him if we do the work. He was quite willing to have us come out so we set up a day 7/29/19 for us to meet.

Once I got to Tad’s home he showed me where the bats were going in and out of an overhang at the first story level at the soffit area of the home. He already contacted someone to do the repair work on the house once he was sure all the bats have gone for the winter. I proceeded to inspect his property, about 3 acres of nice clear land with only his house and a few trees.

I told him he had a great location to install the Bat Shelter Complex because he had no tall trees to deal with and just a few large evergreens on the property. Tad once again confirmed that he wants the bats to stay around, so if this is what it takes to make the bats happy then he wants it done. He had already looked at the Bat Shelter Complex on our website so he was familiar with it.

A nearby neighbor has a large pond so water was not an issue, and without tall dense trees this will work out just fine. I gave him the price for the Bat Shelter Complex installation and he asked me when we could do the work. I told him we could be back out in a couple three weeks once he placed his order. All houses were stained a dark gray.

Thanks Phil! looks great. I hope the bats will like them. Tad D., Fennville, MI., 8/19/19
