How to use

Mount the bat house at a height that is appropriate for local species, typically several metres above ground, on a south- or southeast-facing wall or pole to maximise morning sun exposure. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and secure, using screws or appropriate fasteners; avoid locations that are frequently disturbed by humans or pets. Position the entrance clear of nearby foliage or obstructions to allow bats easy access. Periodically inspect the roost from a distance for damage, and perform maintenance such as replacing any degraded mounting hardware or repairing weathered wood.

Do not open or disturb the roost during the breeding season; consult local wildlife guidelines for distances, mounting heights and species-specific advice.
