This bat built-in brick is designed for use with the IB VL 05 during new construction or renovation projects. Before installation, the small wood-concrete blocks on the sides need to be removed, which can be easily done by cutting them out. The built-in bricks can be placed to the left or right, and multiple IB VL 15 bricks can be installed side by side within a wall, creating a larger bat box in the cavity. As summer breeding boxes, mating boxes, and maternity bat boxes (when at least 3 are connected) possible for:
- Common, rough and small dwarf bat
- Serotine
- Particoloured Bat
In mild winters, possible use by:
For bats, the more available space, the better!
Built-in bricks can be installed in any wind direction
- Place the built-in brick as high as possible on the facade (the bottom of the brick should be at least 3 meters from the ground).
- Ensure the approach route to the box is clear. Avoid allowing trees or shrubs to grow in front of the wall, and do not place blinds or similar objects above the built-in brick.
- Avoid placing the built-in brick above a door, window, or balcony to prevent bat droppings from becoming a nuisance.
- The built-in brick should not be exposed to artificial lighting, so avoid placing lights near or on the brick.
- When multiple bricks are used on the same site (in combination with the IB VL 05), they can serve as summer breeding boxes or breeding boxes, and potentially as small maternity boxes.
- It is up to the user to determine the best method for mounting the bricks together. Options include connecting the bricks with coupling plates and screws or using cavity anchors. In some cases, they may also be glued. Mounting materials are not included.
No maintenance is required for this built-in brick.
