Beaumaris Woodstone Bat Box Midi 91020
Description
There are various bat species that can use this Vivara Pro Beaumaris bat box, this depends on the species that occur locally and where the bat box is hung. The box will be used during the summer and in mild winters for roosting and shelter. Species include: common pipistrelle, Nathusius's pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle, brown long-eared bat , Daubenton's bat, noctule, Whiskered bat, Brandt's bat.
The box has been designed in conjunction with wildlife experts and includes a single narrow cavity making it ideal for crevice roosting bats. The box is made using sustainable materials and no chemical additives are using during production.
Our unique WoodStone® material offers good thermal insulation and therefore creates a more stable internal temperature and rough surface to ensure bats have enough grip to access the box. In addition to creating optimal conditions within the box, WoodStone® habitats also help protect inhabitants from predators.
Bats need to increase their body temperature before flight so prefer warm roosting spots, which is why many of our bat boxes have a black exterior to absorb heat from the sun.
Siting
The bat box can be placed on both a tree or a façade. Preferably choose a sunny spot but do not place the box under or in artificial light, and avoid placing where the rain can directly access the box.
To hang, remove the front of the box by unscrewing the bolts with the Allen key. Two holes are pre-drilled in the rear wall of the box, hang the box with the supplied screws but ensure these are not overtightened but are secure. Preferably hang several boxes together. When placing in bunkers, cellars, attics and stables, place the boxes as high as possible against the façade or posts, they should be hung at a minimum height of 3 metres (approx. 10ft).
