Bat Houses

Laura conducted an intensive
study of bat house use in Central Florida from 1993-1997. This study
involved the comparison of temperatures in a variety of bat house designs,
treatments of bat houses and occupied building roosts. These studies were
necessary because bats are loosing their natural roosting habitat and need
to find safe alternate places to roost.

By Night bat houses are:
- certified 'Bat Approved'
by Bat Conservation International
- constructed of pine exterior
and plywood interior.
Aromatic or red cedar should be avoided due to the odor that
may deter bats until the wood has aged
- held together with
galvanized screws for added strength
- larger than most bat houses
available in garden stores, research shows bats prefer larger bat
houses
- composed of three or more
interior chambers. Additional chambers provide bats with the needed variety of
thermal conditions
- equipped with ventilation
slots to prevent the bats houses from over heating
- caulked on all seams to
exclude moisture and light
- stained to protect the wood
and enhance solar warming.
Research shows bat houses that are caulked and painted are more
likely to be occupied than bare wood bat houses
