This facade bat box is divided into two compartments to create different microclimates inside. The box is finished in black to allow the temperature inside to warm up quickly when placed in a shady, cooler location. This bat box is also available in white (VK WS 15). The white finish has the advantage of reducing the likelihood of overheating when installed in sunny, warm places. 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 made of WoodStone® (WoodStone® is a mix of 100% FSC®-certified wood fibres and concrete) and comes with a convenient Z-hook for mounting on the facade. Several species of bats can use this bat box, depending on the local species and where it is hung.
As a summer or breeding box, it is suitable for:
- Common Pipistrelle
- Nathusius’ Pipistrelle
- Soprano Pipistrelle
- Whiskered Bat
- Brandt’s Bat
- Brown Long-eared Bat
- Particoloured Bat
In mild winters, it may also be used by:
