With Summer coming to an end and fall quickly arriving, it's still not too late to purchase a Bat House. By installing a bat house you are helping to attract bats to your area. Bats in return will consume mosquitoes which are known to be carriers of the West Nile Virus and EEE virus. Along with eating mosquitos bats also consume other nighttime insects, such as moths, nats, etc. All Bat Houses are Handcrafted by P&S Country Crafts L.L.C. located in Bristol NH, USA. All with Free Shipping!

Zone & Color

The bat house color greatly affects whether or not bats will take up residency. Darker colors absorb more sunlight which will create hotter internal temperatures. Consult the map below to figure out what color will work best for your location. If you are unsure which zone to choose, then please contact us and we can help!

Bat house paint color recommendations are based on the average daily high temperatures in July.

  • Zone 1 (blue areas) less than 85˚ = Black paint color
  • Zone 2 (green areas) 85˚-95˚ = Dark gray paint color
  • Zone 3 (yellow areas) 95˚-100˚ = Medium gray paint color
  • Zone 4 (light pink areas) 100˚+ = Light gray paint color

BCI Zone Map

Chambers

Chambers are partitions inside the bat house. These chambers give the bats a place to roost (space for bats to live). The higher number of chambers, the more space available, which can increase the number of bats that choose to reside inside the bat house.

Ventilation

Ventilation slots help reduce the internal temperature of the bat house. The ideal internal temperature is between 80° and 100° degrees fahrenheit.

Bat houses in zones 2, 3, and 4 come with ventilation slots because those regions have an average temperature in July of 85 degrees or more. Zone 1 does not come with ventilation slots because it is a cooler region.

The number of slots we use are based on BCI recommendations. Please contact us if you want to modify the number of vents.

What Makes Our Bat Houses Unique

  • Built to Bat Conservation International standards.
  • Custom made to work optimally in your geographic location. If we notice anything off with your order we will contact you and make the appropriate adjustments.
  • We use environmentally friendly materials such as nontoxic wood stain and local wood from pine trees already damaged in storms and natural disasters.
  • 20 year roof shingles to prevent leakage from rain and snow.
  • Chambers are 1 1/2"  inches apart which offer bats an optimal place to roost while also deterring unwanted guests such as bees, hornets and squirrels.
  • We use marine grade plastic netting (on the landing only) that will allow bats to land and take off safely without getting tangled.
  • All joints are sealed with exterior silicone caulk-glue to ensure a water and air tight seal.
  • The large landing hangs 4.5" to 5" below the entrance allowing plenty of space for bats to land and exit.

BAT HOUSE MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS (Per Bat Conservation International))
Bats prefer roosts mounted on buildings or other large wooden or concrete structures to those mounted on poles or on trees (not recommended). But pole mounts work well in climates that are moderate to hot, without extreme variance between day and night temperatures.
