VK SK 03 Bat box

This extra wide maternity bat box is suitable for installation against any type of facade so also against sheet piling facades. The box is equipped with an extra-long approach board so the bats can land on it. From there, the bats can crawl into the box. The box’s open bottom makes it easy to check. The three compartments, spaced 19 mm apart, are mutually accessible through holes in the partitions. The compartments create different microclimates in the box. This maternity bat box can also be used freestanding on posts. For options, see the VK SK 08. There are several bat species that can use this bat box. This depends on the species that occur locally.
