Offer a secure and eco - friendly haven for bats with the Extra - Large Bat Roosting Nursery House from North States. Measuring 6.5 x 12 x 18.25 inches in height, this house is crafted from high - quality, heavy - duty wood that naturally resists rot. Its charming light gray hue helps maintain the perfect temperature for bats, and the air vents ensure proper air circulation. Inside, there are four separate roosting chambers that can comfortably house 250 - 300 brown bats. At the base of the house, landing skerfs serve as a stable platform for bats to grip when landing. The grooved interior walls create a warm and safe space for bats to climb and rest. Bats love natural settings and are drawn to areas near water. Neighborhoods with well - grown trees are also great spots for bat houses. When it's time to install your house, place it in a wind - sheltered area with a southern exposure that gets at least six hours of sunlight each day. Mount it at least 10 feet above the ground (12 - 20 feet is even better). Make sure the base is clear of any obstacles for easy bat access. This bat house comes with three pre - drilled holes on the back for easy mounting on trees, houses, posts, fences, etc. It also includes a label full of interesting 'Bat Facts'.
