These natural and attractive bat boxes will fit into any garden, woodland, or house wall site. Made from high-quality durable timber providing longevity and excellent insulation. Bats need habitat as many of their roosts have been lost over recent years. The narrow entrance slot and strong timber help to discourage predators. As well as being one of the most threatened types of mammal in Britain, bats are also among the most misunderstood. Far from being nasty dangerous animals, they are attractive small, furry insect eaters who need all the help they can get, and in return, they will help to control a large range of garden insects. Bats need a range of roosting sites, including summer daytime roosts, winter hibernation ones, and breeding sites. You can help them find a suitable roost by putting up a simple bat box. Ideally, place them in groups around three sides of a tree - bats like to move from one box to another during the day and from season to season as temperatures change.
