This small bat box can be used for temporary mitigation, although experts prefer two-layer boxes. Installation is preferably on facades, but the bat box may also be suitable for placement in trees.
Several species of bats can use this bat box, depending on the local species and where the box is hung. The box is suitable as a summer and/or breeding box, and in mild winters, it can also serve as a shelter.
The box is finished in black to allow the temperature inside to warm up quickly when placed in shady, cooler locations. This bat box is also available in white (VK MP 07). The white finish has the advantage of heating up less quickly when installed in sunny, warm places.
This box is made of waterproof bonded exterior plywood and is finished on the inside of the back wall with spray cork for good grip. The box comes with dowels and screws for mounting.
As a summer or breeding box, it is suitable for:

  • Whiskered Bat
  • Common Pipistrelle
  • Soprano Pipistrelle
  • Nathusius’ Pipistrelle

In mild winters, it may also be used by:

  • Common Pipistrelle
  • 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.
  • Multiple boxes placed near each other are preferred. 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.
