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.
