Bat Box
In addition to extra roosting space, the second chamber provides greater temperature diversity, allowing bats to select the most suitable temperatures.
Bat House
Because bats have lost roosting sites and have been poisoned by pesticides, their numbers have dwindled and some species are endangered. Providing a home for them, not just as a daytime hangout but to make them less vulnerable during hibernation, is one way you can ensure their future.
Bat Houses
Bats eat up to 1000 mosquitoes an hour every night during the summer. Attracting bats to your yard is as easy as building a bat house, which provides them a warm, dry place to roost and brood.

This house should be hung on trees, poles, or the sides of buildings which have a good open area on at least one side for bats to maneuver while flying.

For this house be sure to adjust dimensions for back and front pieces, ceiling furring strip and netting. A 3/4" support spacer may be required in the centre of the roosting chamber for bat houses over 24" wide.
Two Chamber Rocket Box
Rocket boxes are designed to fit over a wooden 4 x 4-inch post, which serves as both the landing area and roosting surface. The section of post that fits inside the rocket box must not be chemically treated. An untreated, 16-foot or longer rough-cut post is recommended.
