This European-made bat box, crafted from solid wood, replicates the natural cavities that these nocturnal mammals seek for resting, reproduction, and socializing. As insectivorous and protected species in France, bats play a crucial ecological role by naturally regulating nocturnal insect populations, including mosquitoes and harmful moths.
Designed to offer a safe and durable roost, this solid pine bat box (15 mm thick) features a lower entrance, ribbed ramp, and internal attachment grooves. These features mimic the cracks in old trees or buildings, making it ideal for species like the common pipistrelle or the common serotine, which often struggle to find suitable habitats.
Nocturnal insectivorous bats consume up to 3,000 small insects per night, including mosquitoes and caterpillars that damage gardens. Their natural pest control makes them invaluable allies for organic gardening.
In France, these protected species suffer from the loss of natural habitats like hollow trees or attics. This bat box provides a sustainable solution for reproduction and survival, while contributing to local biodiversity.
Bats are nocturnal mammals primarily feeding on insects. Their diet includes mosquitoes, midges, and nocturnal moths like cutworms, whose larvae cause damage such as cutworm in gardens.
In France, species like the common pipistrelle, Nathusius’ pipistrelle, or the common serotine seek narrow, well-protected shelters similar to cavities in old trees or buildings. These protected species face habitat loss, making adapted bat boxes essential.
This bat box is specifically designed to replicate natural habitat conditions. Its lower entrance with a ribbed ramp allows bats to enter and exit safely, protected from predators. Internal horizontal grooves provide easy attachment and movement for the bats.
Made from 15 mm thick solid pine wood, this box offers excellent thermal insulation against cold and heat, ensuring a safe and durable shelter for bats year-round.

Mount the box between 2.5 and 5 meters high on a wall, facade, tree, or post, facing south or southeast to benefit from sunlight warmth.
Ensure the entrance to the box is clear of branches or obstacles, and avoid placing it near artificial night lighting.
For a cooler shelter during heatwaves, install a second box facing north.
Never touch the box once installed to avoid disturbing its occupants.
Apply linseed oil to the exterior walls once a year, outside the occupancy period, to extend the box’s lifespan.
This box is primarily designed to attract the common pipistrelle, Nathusius’ pipistrelle, and common serotine. These species seek narrow, well-protected shelters similar to tree cavities or building cracks. The greater mouse-eared bat may occasionally use it as well.
Bats naturally use the lower entrance to enter and exit. You may observe movements around the box at dusk or dawn. Avoid opening the box to check, as this could disturb the occupants.
No specific maintenance is required. The lower entrance allows guano to fall naturally. To preserve the wood, apply linseed oil to the exterior walls once a year, outside the bats’ occupancy period.
Absolutely. Bats may travel long distances to find suitable shelters. Installing this box provides a lasting solution for these protected species and contributes to your garden’s biodiversity, even if they aren’t immediately visible.
Made from 15 mm solid pine wood with a water-based stained roof, this box is designed to last for several years. With minimal maintenance, such as applying linseed oil once a year, it will remain functional and attractive to bats.
