Looker Single Chamber Bat House holds 100 bats approved by the Organization for Bat Conservation

I purchased this bat house because I was about to evict a good number of bats from my attic. The fact that it was approved by the Organization for Bat Conservation was enough for me, and it's worked out well. I installed the bat house during the winter near where the bats were entering my attic. I then put up wire mesh to keep the bats out. When summer arrived, most of the bats moved into their new home. A few somehow found a way into the attic... oh well... it's much easier to clean up after a handful of bats rather than the 30 or so that used to live there.

I've had this bat house for almost 3 years now, and it's held up well. The bats keep coming back so I guess they are happy with it too.

We are fond of bats, but not bats in our attic. We decided to relocate the bats and chose this one because it's design is approved by the OBC. Late at night, when we assumed the bats were out foraging, we put up the bat house and blocked the hole they used to enter the attic. Since we put the house near the blocked hole, we assumed they would simply move into the bat house by morning. Not until almost a year later did bats start showing up in the bat house. From what I've read, it can take as long as two years for bats to move in, so be patient.

Love this house! Durable and great craftmanship. It came with tips on placement outdoors and what color (if needed)- it should be painted to accomodate their preferred habitat. Looking forward to housing many insect eating bats over the years!
