- All bat houses should be mounted at least 10 feet above ground, and 12 to 20 feet is better.
- Choose a sunny location on the East or South facing side of your house.
- Bat houses work best with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight (if only partial day sun is available- morning sun is preferable).
- Bat houses should not be lit by bright lights, so do not install near porch or security lights.
- Do not install your bat house above doors or windows where bat droppings will fall or accumulate in an inconvenient location.
- It should be placed at least 20 to 25 feet from the nearest tree branches, wires or other potential perches for aerial predators.
- It is illegal to disturb any bat when it is roosting, or to handle a bat without a licence.
- However, you can monitor your bat box by looking for mouse-sized droppings beneath the bat box as a clue to occupation or observe from a distance at dusk to see if bats are exiting the box to hunt.
