Bats are a welcome ally to combat mosquitoes and other insect pests. They work while we sleep, eating up to 600 mosquitoes and other night flying insects like cucumber beetles, June bugs, stinkbugs, leafhoppers, and moths in just one hour. Providing them a home on your property during the day will benefit them as well as everyone around you.
The Songbird Essentials Bat House is an environmentally-friendly bat house in more ways than one! First, this 4-chambered bat house provides room for 150 beneficial, insect-eating bats. Because it has 4 chambers, it will hold both males and females in a colony. The interior panels are grooved to provide easy landing and roosting for the bats.
The Songbird Essentials Bat Houses meet the standards recommended by leading bat conservation groups: each chamber is 1" deep, and the side ventilation slats are 3/8" wide. This is important because this eco-friendly bat house is made from recycled plastic! Exact dimensions are necessary for maintaining proper interior temperature and ventilation since it is made of 100% recycled milk jugs; 75 recycled milk jugs are used for each bat house. It is made in the USA, and the manufacturer guarantees this item! It will not rot, chip, crack, or split. Pre-drilled holes are already positioned for mounting.
The Songbird Essentials Bat House comes in Hunter Green or Driftwood. Its dimensions are 19 3/4" x 8" x 6 1/2".
Researched in Yellowstone National Park, this house was shown to be an effective bat box. The species of bats that use this house are the big brown, cave, eastern pipistrelle, evening, little brown, Mexican free-tailed, northern long-eared, pallid, Pallas' mastiff, Rafinesque's big-eared, southeastern, and Yuma bat.
