Plow & Hearth Wildlife Housing>Red Cedar Mini Bat Tower

This handsome Red Cedar Mini Bat Tower provides a warm place for bats to roost, protected from wind and predators. Neighborhood bats consume hundreds of mosquitoes and other bugs an hour while they feed at night, making them an all-natural, desirable method of pest control. Made of weather-resistant red cedar, this bat house has grooved parts that enhance maneuverability. This bat house is non-vented by design to build heat inside the upper area. Houses up to 60 adult brown bats. Made in the USA. Mount the house on a garage, barn or pole (south or east facing is usually best). Do not mount on a tree as it enables predators, is usually too shady (cold), and the branches impede the bats’ flight. Place the house a minimum of ten feet off the ground to protect against predators; with 15-20 being even better. You’ll also have a better chance of attracting bats if the house is near a water source, and away from bright lights.
