This bat box consists of two compartments and is used for temporary mitigation. Installation is preferably on facades, but the box may also be suitable for installation in trees.
Several species of bats can use this bat box, depending on the local species and where it is hung. The box is suitable as a summer and/or breeding box, and in mild winters, it can also serve as a shelter.
As a summer or breeding box, it is suitable for:

  • Whiskered Bat
  • Common Pipistrelle
  • Brown Long-eared Bat (in loft applications)
  • Soprano Pipistrelle
  • Nathusius’ Pipistrelle

In mild winters, it may also be used by:

  • Common Pipistrelle

The box is finished in white to reduce the likelihood of overheating when installed in sunny, warm places. This bat box is also available in black (VK MP 05). The black finish allows the temperature inside the box to warm up quickly when placed in shady, cooler areas.
This box is made of waterproof bonded exterior plywood. The inside of the back wall and one side of the partition are finished with spray cork for good grip. The box comes with dowels and screws for mounting.

  • Place the bat box in a suitable location on the facade using the provided dowels and screws.
  • Install the box at a minimum height of 3 meters.
  • The box is less suitable for installation in trees, but it can be done.
  • The box can be placed facing any wind direction.
  • Provide a clear approach and egress route for the box.
  • Do not place boxes above windows and doors.
  • Do not install the box on illuminated facades or in light from lampposts, etc.
  • It is preferred to have multiple boxes placed near each other. When doing so, vary the wind direction and altitude.

Bat boxes can be cleaned once a year in winter, preferably during a frost period. Be sure to check that the boxes are not occupied first! A special long-handled brush can be used to remove cobwebs and other debris from the box.
