Chavenage bat box
Give a protected species a safe place to roost with this cosy timber bat box. Handmade from solid untreated wood so as not to deter them with strong odours, it offers essential warmth and security to vulnerable bats including pipistrelles, noctules, Natterer's and Daubenton's.
Designed with one vertical chamber, the box is scored with ladder-style grooves to make it easy for bats to climb in. The hinged roof can be removed to allow easy access for inspection by licensed bat workers.
Please note, under the Wildlife & Countryside Act, it is illegal for the public to handle bats or disturb their roosts. However, you can monitor use of your bat box by looking for mouse-sized droppings under the box, or watching from a distance as they go out to hunt at dusk.
For best results, site the box 2.5m-5m high on a building or mature tree using the pre-drilled back plate hanger, ideally in a spot that only receives partial sun during the day. If you can, ensure it faces south west or south east.
