These effective bat boxes seem small some can fit up to 100 bats! Bat boxes are "homes" for bats. These structures provide protection for bats in rough climates. Bats need to be protected because of their limited numbers. Bat boxes are traditionally made of wood. They can be left natural, painted black to capture sunlight, or painted to a color to be the color of the structure it is secured to. Although the outside of the bat box can be painted, the inside should never be painted because the box should be as natural as possible. Bat boxes are perfectly designed to fit a bat's every need! The netting on the inside of the bat box is for the bats to hang from. The small separate area is for the bats to perch.

If you plan on making a bat house you need to be patient. Bats won't come immediately it might take up to two years. But it's worth the wait!
