The single chamber bat house, originally recommended by BCI, and now certified by MTBC, in some cases may be preferred, either by initially small nursery groups, who find them easier to heat in sunny locations, or by bachelors who form smaller groups in houses positioned in less sun. As nursery colonies grow, they commonly expand into larger multi-chamber houses that help provide stability.
All of our MTBC / BCI approved bat houses work well in pairs mounted on poles, one facing southeast the other northwest. The only exceptions are arid areas with extreme day-to-night temperature fluctuation. In such cases, bat houses are far more successful mounted on buildings. Pole mounting permits placement in locations ideally positioned relative to sun exposure. Try to make a yearly inspections after all bats have seasonally migrated and the house is unoccupied, typically between late fall, winter and early spring is the best time to make your inspection.

Purchasing more than one bat house? Special Note:If you are purchasing two bat houses and want them on the double unit mounting bracket, PLEASE add the bat houses to the cart INDIVIDUALLY and only pick the "double unit" mounting bracket on ONE of the bat houses and pick "None" on the other. This will then have the correct price in the cart and you will be ordering just one double unit/back-to-back bracket.
You will only be paying shipping on your bat house and NOT on your bracket if purchased together here.
PROCESSING TIME: Because all of our Bat Houses are hand crafted, it MAY take 4 to 5 business days to build the house(s). Houses with a painted or stained finish take 4 to 5 additional days because of the drying time for the applied finish.
