5 Key Qualities of a Successful Bat House

Not all bat houses are created equal. Bat boxes come in a range of shapes, styles, and sizes. So how do you know which bat house the bats will love? Make sure your bat box has these 5 expert-approved features to help ensure it will be an ideal sanctuary for the bats:
1. TALL CHAMBERS
2. BETTER GRIP
3. EFFECTIVE VENTILATION
4. THOROUGH SEALANT
5. HIGH-QUALITY LUMBER
Bat expert, Dr. Merlin Tuttle says, “Seeing people disappointed by poor quality bat houses troubles me greatly. It gives good conservation a bad name.”

I love resisting deterioration and still looking great, personally.

I see the one painted like an American flag. Doesn't the bat house need to be painted dark? Is natural wood color dark enough? Just learning about it here...

Great question. The color recommendations are based on the climate of the region and how much sunlight the bat house is going to get, but ultimately it is up to you. We give tips on what would give you the best chances of success. Check out our painting guide for more info: batbnb.com/pages/painting-guide
