Item Description
Hand-made bat house, painted sage green. Dimensions are 28"H x 9"W x 4"D
"Bat houses are meant to mimic bats’ preferred roosting habitats, which is typically under peeling bark in large, dead or dying trees. The holes, crevices and spaces under the peeling bark provide shelter from predators and harsh weather conditions. These large trees also allow bats to reside high off the ground protected from predators such as snakes and raccoons, while also receiving ample sunlight.
"A well-built and well-maintained bat house should have good success. It may take a year or so for bats to inhabit the bat house; however, bats are accustomed to changing habitats and are constantly looking for new roosting sites.
"Bat houses can play a vital role in their survival, providing optimal roosting conditions, which might otherwise be hard to find. Although bats often go unnoticed, they are the top predator for night-flying insects, so having them around is extremely beneficial in controlling the pest insect populations for our farms, gardens and forests." - from nature.org
