Frequently Asked Questions about Bat Houses
What are bat houses?
Bat houses are specially designed wooden or plastic structures that mimic the natural roosting environments bats prefer, typically featuring narrow, tight spaces that provide warmth and protection.
Do bats like bat houses?
Absolutely. Not only do bat houses serve as their own little sanctuary, they also serve as alternative roosting sites, especially in areas with limited natural habitat like large metro areas.
What are the general rules for a bat house?
As bats naturally seek out high, dark places, you'll want to mount the house at least 12-15 feet high in a semi-shady area where there are only about 6-8 hours of sunlight a day and that's not far from a water source.
What attracts bats to a bat house?
Bats are naturally drawn to confined spaces with rough terrain for easy gripping. That's why you typically see them huddled under bridges or in caves.
